The mastermind behind this exhibition is Yulia Garamova, a well-known among the Russian-speaking community art connoisseur, musician, and lecturer, in collaboration with Natalia Makarenko.

Nearly all displayed works are coming to us from a private collection of Leonid Belotserkovsky. We thank him for the rare opportunity to see the handwritten books and miniature drawings by these two unique artists. Irina Dmitrenko and Feruz Temirov to American audiences have firmly established themselves in European museums and exhibitions.

Just imagine—every drawing, each line meticulously and accurately crafted by hand.

No printing, no engraving! Each detail done manually!

That is why it's impossible to create two absolutely identical handwritten books or drawings. We will showcase this miraculous process through video from Irina.

Feruz is renowned among European collectors for his exquisite artistic miniatures. These gems of Persian culture, created on antique paper using watercolor and tempera, showcase his finesse.

During the event discussions, we'll explore the artists' backgrounds, presenting their works alongside the artists themselves. Stay connected!
