The Russian House in Kathmandu unveiled an art exhibition titled "In Search of Shambhala" by celebrated Russian artist Natalia Zaitseva-Borisova.
The event was inaugurated by Ms Alina Novikova, the spouse of the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Nepal, who lit the traditional panas to commence the exhibition.
Natalia Zaitseva-Borisova is an internationally acclaimed artist renowned for her works in the orientalist style, drawing inspiration from legendary Russian painters Vasily Vereshchagin and Nicholas Roerich. With over 35 personal exhibitions worldwide, her work is praised for its ability to capture the essence of cultural heritage and natural beauty.
The exhibition features 24 captivating paintings created over several years, reflecting Natalia's extensive travels and her profound connection with Nepal and India since 2006. Through her art, she brings to life the majestic landscapes of the Himalayas, intricate architecture, and the vibrant culture of the region.
This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Alexander Mikhailovich Kadakin, a distinguished Russian diplomat and former Ambassador to Nepal, India, and Sweden. A great admirer of Natalia’s work, Mr. Kadakin played a pivotal role in supporting her artistic endeavors in South Asia.
Organized in collaboration with the Russian House, the event attracted prominent dignitaries, cultural figures, and art enthusiasts. It stands as a celebration of the enduring cultural ties between Russia and Nepal and showcases the artist’s remarkable artistic journey.
