Margarita Makarova. God. Stages of understanding

It is possible that the paintings of this series will seem unusual to someone. Not quite, as they say, in tradition. People like to close windows and doors from everything new. But this is a graveyard. We learn words and thoughts. We show our education by quoting other people’s thoughts.
