Nikolai Tarasik can rightly be attributed to representatives of Siberian art. Although he received the profession of an artist in Belarus, where he graduated from an art institute in 1982, the artist has worked in Ust-Ilimsk for a long time since graduation. For almost thirty years he was engaged in teaching at the Ust-Ilim branch of the IGPU. Recently, Nikolai Tarasik moved to Moscow due to health problems.

This summer, the artist visited Belarus. The works created during this trip, the artist included in the exposition of the anniversary exhibition. In total, the author provided for the exhibition in Irkutsk about fifty works made in different periods of creativity, starting from the nineties.

The unique creative style inherent in Nikolai Tarasik makes many art critics call his works subtle and gentle poetry, translated by the author into the language of painting. A special aura to paintings written by Nikolai Tarasik is given by the fullness of their symbols.

The metaphors used by the artist can be seen not only in the objects depicted by him, but also in the compositions of the works, and in the technique of their creation. The main color in the paintings of Nikolai Tarasik always becomes gold, also becoming a symbol. This is the color of goodness, reflecting the nature of the artist, his poetic soul.

The Irkutsk Art Museum until October 30 invites those who wish to plunge into the world of metaphors, dreams and memories, born of the unique talent of Nikolai Tarasik.
