This months' featured exhibition is titled 'Fine Art - 10 years of Creativity'  by Mikhail Potapov
Mikhail only recently became interested in artistic photography, but literally on the eve of celebrating 41 years, he counts 10 (unforgettable) years of work. 

He quotes :  'You and I mistakenly believe that Man is the pinnacle of divine creation, and the whole world around him stands immeasurably below him. Yes, thanks to the presence of reason, a person has the opportunity to learn the laws of nature that gave birth to him. Understanding these laws gives him power over nature, and he implements this power.
But does nature need what is so necessary for man? Humanity builds factories and plants, turns rivers back, cuts down forests, extracts oil, has been fighting among themselves for many centuries, everything that we have created destroys or cripples (kills) nature.  Everything that people have done for themselves is completely useless for nature! 
A person's mind is directed against the world that was created for him, a person breaks this world, trying to create an artificial world. Man is a kind of vestige on planet Earth, remove man and life in the natural world will change for the better.'

I invite you to explore this beautiful exhibition which will be exposed on our opening page  / Gallery during the whole month of March 2024.
