Natalia Pavlovna Ozernaya continues and develops in most of her works the traditional branch of the world story tapestry, which for centuries has successfully carried out historical, mythological, biblical, pastoral and everyday themes. The artist is full of deep interest in the history of Russia, its heroes, commanders, devotees of the spirit, to her native nature, the world of beauty. The bright individuality and special penetration of her tapestries is that built according to all the laws and conditions of applied art, hand-woven and not painted with a brush, they are endowed with universal features of any pictorial genre - expressive pictorial plasticity, the beauty and whims of the silhouette, exquisite decorativeness and richness textured features that match this technique.

The exposition presents works in which treasured topics are raised and solved, specific ideas and meanings, ideologically conditioned images and figures are embodied. They are paid tribute to the author, who thinks sublimely-patriotically, enthusiastically working in a historical and cultural manner. Each image of N. Ozernaya conveys to the viewer carefully, factually reliably and emotionally-voluminously, using a well-thought-out arsenal of compositional, decorative and pictorial means.
