Psychological portraits of Harry Potter characters at the "Legacy for the Future" exposition

On February 2, the international exposition "Legacy for the Future", featuring works by young artists from Russia, China, India, Brazil, Ethiopia, and Iran, will conclude at the National Centre RUSSIA. Many of these works transport visitors to magical worlds, inviting them to see familiar things and phenomena in a new light.

Yekaterina Samoylova, a graduate of the Ilya Repin Saint Petersburg State Academy of Arts, was born in the Leningrad region. The young artist has won numerous creative competitions. Since 2022, she has been a member of the graphic arts creative workshop at the Russian Academy of Arts in Moscow. At the "Legacy for the Future" exposition, Yekaterina presented part of her graduation series of easel works on the theme "Psychological Portraits of Characters from J.K. Rowling's 'Harry Potter'." Created using lithography and acrylic techniques, these portraits skillfully reveal the characters' personalities and provide a glimpse into a different dimension of time and space. 

For example, the work "Tom Riddle in the Orphanage" uses white ink prints on black paper to clearly convey the dark mood of this key villain from the Harry Potter universe, which predominantly accompanied him on his difficult path of growing up and formation.

Please note that the second floor of the National Centre RUSSIA will be temporarily unavailable to visitors due to the exhibition changeover. However, cultural, educational, and business programs will continue. All up-to-date information on event dates and locations can be found on the website in the "Events" section. Starting in February, the "Hall of Inventions" and "Legacy for the Future" expositions will conclude. In March, after installation and updates, the National Centre will open two new expositions: an architectural one and "Journey Across Russia."
