Portrait of the first President of Abkhazia Vladislav Ardzinba

Author: Petrovskaya-Petovraji Olga

The personality of the first President of the Republic of Abkhazia is heroic, legendary, and for the younger generation is already historical. Olga had a chance to catch a glimpse of the President in her childhood, but she certainly did not remember it. Having decided to paint a portrait of a man who looks at you from a variety of posters, she began to look for a photo, not covered with a legend. At the portrait Vladislav Grigorievich is shortly before his death, immersed in thought, on the background of a green landscape near a mountain river. This landscape, like the air and the odour of the mountains, is inseparable from the Man who gave himself to his native Abkhazia.

In 2018 the artwork participated in the international exhibition and competition of portrait art in Moscow and gained the 1st place in the nomination "Academic painting. Portrait of a famous person"

The artwork is framed in a wooden frame
