An art collector from the Netherlands was interested in ordering the middle-sized piece with "The Snowmaiden" theme on, painted by young Palekh artist Natalia Kurkina. That was a very knowledgeable, wise choice, though she is only 28, she has participated in many specialized exhibitions and has already shown her own talented interpretations of quite well spread themes as "Snowmaiden". Professor L.Pirogova declares that works of A.Kochupalov, saturated with allegories and symbols influenced her a lot. It could be seen on that marvelous piece as well. Look at the fantastic gold work and nearly designer's costume of Snowmaiden and alive flowers around her - the real fountain of colors.
