Exhibition of Olga Pluzhnikova-Orlov Canvas-Tree

The work of Olga Pluzhnikova (Orlova) was highly appreciated by specialists. They are distinguished by an exquisite sense of color, professionalism and deep inner content. Her painting is a combination of modernity and traditions, coming from the depths of centuries - her source comes from the East and the West and somehow magically connects the cultures of different countries. Its origins are in Byzantium, the art of Antiquity and Ancient China, European art. Art historians note the rare musicality of her works, thanks to this a large project “Pictures from the Exhibition” by M. Mussorgsky was carried out.
