The project presents the works of two different artists in both manner and style. The first is the widely known Polish portrait artist Piotr Topolski. Beautiful young girls and women in national clothes evoke genuine delight. And gray-bearded elders, wise from life experience, evoke respect and sensory perception. The second artist is a modern Turkish woman, Rukiye Garip. She paints her paintings in watercolors. She miraculously manages to convey the transparency of melt water, the surf and the tenderness of the water surface. Enjoy watching.

The project features works by two completely different artists in style and time frame. But spiritually united by ramantic views on life. The first, famous artist is our contemporary and compatriot Alexander Averin, who writes in the spirit of “sunny” romanticism. The second, a world-famous master, is the English artist Edmund Bleier Leighton (1853 - 1922), who painted in the traditional style of romanticism. Enjoy watching.
