METAFORICAL PICTURE

Here are the paintings from my multimedia exhibition “METAPHORICAL PICTURES”, which was held at the Alpert Gallery in Moscow from August 25 to September 8, 2022. The idea of ​​the show was to give an answer to the request with which the person came to the show.

After attuning to the music, it was necessary to choose one picture that was close in mood. The metaphorical description under it was a hint – advice on an individual request.

And now you have a unique opportunity to visit a virtual exhibition.

Our team made a chat or “METAPICTURE virtual guide to the exhibition. with description and music. You can see it by clicking on the link in the telegram bot “METAPICTURES”

I wish you an amazing journey!
