Russia has always occupied a special place in the work of Sergei Nokolaevich Andriyaka. An unsurpassed master of watercolor, he very sensitively felt and knew how to convey the charm of Russian nature, the beauty of architectural monuments, the charm of his native city - Moscow and the originality of small towns. In addition to landscapes, the master worked a lot in the genre of still life, demonstrating virtuoso skill in conveying the texture of the depicted objects. An amazing master of chiaroscuro, shades and halftones, he created many beautiful works that can be viewed in the exhibition halls of the Central House of Art until July 22. Welcome!
