The exhibition "Starting point" in the genre of modern expressionism reflects the traditional image of reality. Instead of depicting reality as it is, it is important for an artist to show his inner world. The exhibition also calls to stop rushing through life and focus on what is really important.

The distorted lines, contrasting colors, abstract forms and other elements in paintings left a deep impression on the viewers.
