"Fallen angels with bound wings"
Yulia Litvinova, 2016
Children from dysfunctional families grow up in filth and vice. Their wings are bound from birth, there is no opportunity to break out of the vicious circle, and therefore no future. Beatings, chained to radiators to keep them out of the way. And when they grow up, the social bottom awaits them: drug addiction, prostitution and other plagues of modern society. They have never seen anything else and, unfortunately, will never see anything else.

Nicolas de Stael
His name is much better known in Europe than in his homeland - in Russia it remained undeservedly forgotten for many years. Despite the fact that in Europe his works were valued at millions of dollars.
He earned recognition during his lifetime and became one of the most famous artists in France, but at the age of 41, unexpectedly for all decided to leave life. For many, the reasons for this act remained a mystery.
