Elena Sekach, Director of the Presidential Library, said that the opening day of the exhibition is special. She noted that the library could not but respond to the request to host this project, as it is important for society, for readers, and for the artists themselves. According to her, it is a great honor for the authors of the works to exhibit in the Presidential Library after the Independence Palace.
"They came to us with great delight, they accepted this invitation. As you all noticed, they paint our homeland, they paint the Republic of Belarus, they love their country very much," the speaker said.
The library director stressed that special people need special attention, which should be constant, not selective. "We must participate, and we must take them not only to some public organizations, they must always be present in our lives," she added. Elena Sekach noted that the library is not only a repository of knowledge, but also, first of all, a place for meetings and human opportunities, and they provided this opportunity to artists.
The exhibition will be available to visitors at the Presidential Library until the end of February. The library management invites everyone to come, see and evaluate the presented works. Given the significant interest of readers in the exhibition and the authors of the works themselves, the library plans to continue this project. The idea of organizing a marathon is being considered, as well as placing photographs of artists next to their paintings so that it is clear who is the author of each work. As Elena Sekach noted, it is already possible to identify the author of the painting by the unique color scheme.
