Volodya Grigoriev

For Yuriy Zelenko, art is the meaning of life and a kind of reward for the hardships that fell to his lot. This artist was able to reveal himself on his own in the very difficult conditions of asylums. His paintings are full of unique features that testify to the great skill and innovation of the author. Yuriy neglects photographic precision for the sake of vivid metaphors and, with the help of a rich palette, creates the perfect balance in landscapes and portraits.
