Literary Shabbat – Painting by Alexander Aizenshtat and Poetry by Olga Medelyan

On October 23rd the International Diplomatic Club"Amicability" organized an event named "Literary Shabbat". The evening was held in the art gallery of Alexander Aizenstadt. The participants of the evening saw the artist's beautiful and sometimes striking paintings. Alexander Aizenstadt often refers to the theme of the repression of the Jewish people in his work. The artist also paints pictures on philosophical and religious themes and through his works reminds viewers that God is close to everyone.


The host of the evening was the president of the club, Sergey Dvoryanov. Mr Dvoryanov also read a verse of his own, to which he was inspired by one of the artist's paintings - "Chess" (the picture will later be presented as a gift to the King of Bahrain).
The main guest of the evening was the poet Olga Medelyan, who expressively read her mesmerizing poems - about life, about love, about the thorny path of creativity. Later, other guests shared with Olga what touched and impressed them the most in her poetry. Everyone plunged into the wonderful atmosphere of painting and poetry for one autumn evening...
