The exhibition is dedicated to the early period of the artist's development and shows how her personal style is formed. The project addresses the roots of Galina Vanshenkina's creative path and offers a glimpse into how artistic thinking is born. The focus is on works created in childhood and adolescence, when intuition and immediacy become the main guides to art. The viewer is presented with works executed in various techniques - from gouache and watercolor to graphics and ink. Small sheets of paper, featuring urban scenes, rural landscapes, everyday episodes, and expressive portrait types, come together to form a cohesive picture of the author's development. Even in these early experiences, attention to detail, a sense of color, and interest in the surrounding environment are evident. Special attention is given to the first children's drawings, where simplicity combines with sincere emotionality. The exhibition is complemented by ceramic works.
