“We have a lot of different directions, different views, different artists, but we no longer have such artists as Nefyodov. He has his own vision, his own approach, his own poetic narrative… "

M.Nefedov. Artist

A member of the Union of Russian Artists, the Creative Union of Russian Artists, painter Mikhail Kuzmich Nefyodov has been living and working in Raif for the past 20 years. Raifa gives him inspiration and beautiful natures, which he transfers to the canvases. “Raifa. Raifsky Reserve ”is only one of the topics presented at the retrospective exhibition in“ Khazine ”, dedicated to the 80th birthday. For 56 years of creative activity, Mikhail Nefyodov met people, discovered new facets of life, drew inspiration from the surrounding nature not only in Russia: 4 years in the city of Leninsk (Baikonur), 8 years in Przhevalsk (Kyrgyzstan), almost 20 years in Yoshkar -Ole. The circle closed in 1997: return to Kazan, life and work in Raif. Each of these periods of life is reflected in creativity. A gallery of portraits of famous astronauts was created on Baikonur, in Przhevalsk - canvases with the delightful beauties of Issyk-Kul and the colorful Tien Shan and the Mari land rich in colors at all times in the Yoshkar-Ola period of life and work. The process of formation and search lasts a lifetime. “Art is not a craft, but a song sung in all its might and from the heart…” (Mikhail Nefyodov).

Landscapes, portraits, historical canvases, paintings on religious themes, philosophical works made in the spirit of ancient frescoes will be presented at the exhibition opening in Khazine, which opens on July 27.

The exhibition runs until August 27, 2017.
