At the Museum-Studio of artist Dmitry Nalbandyan, you can glimpse a moment in his biography when both his painting and personal life were changing. A portrait of a young activist coexists with archival photos and documents, showing how great changes in the country manifest through a private story and a new female image is born. The viewer finds themselves literally inside the life story of artist Dmitry Nalbandyan: on the walls are early canvases, alongside archival photos, letters, and documents that usually remain off-camera in large museum exhibitions. Here, not only the pictorial result is important, but also the path that led to it. That is why the focus is on the early years in Moscow, when the young author moved from Georgia, sought his language, and carefully observed the new reality and the people around him. During this period, his personal story was also forming, and the acquaintance with Valentina Terekhova became the point where private feeling and official commission for a new image of a contemporary woman intersected. The central canvas of the cycle coexists with other works created in the traditions of socialist realism, and the context of the era is built around it.
