The project involves artists, sculptors, art historians and galleries from Russia, Germany, France, Austria, Serbia

Exhibition "Architecture. Rotundus Urbi ”is the result of the work of the St. Petersburg artist over the past twenty years. The master’s works retain a restrained, yet saturated color. The calmness of the palette balances the extremely full composition. Arcades and vaults open spaces, lead in a circle through the styles of epochs, reveal monuments and cities, signs and hints, revealing an eternal and vacillating form.

In the landscapes of Valge, the confident hand of the architect is immediately visible - masterfully painted structures, a lot of neatly prescribed details attract attention, drawing the viewer deeper into the space created by the painter.
