It’s a big show - a hundred of different pieces in painting, graphics, sculpture, decorative arts - two or three pieces by each artist - are tiling the walls and floor of the exhibition space.

Despite his busy schedule, Oktai Alirzayev teaches at the College of Culture and Arts and the St. Petersburg School of Design "Art Future". He also finds time for his creative activities. He distinguishes himself in the desire to constantly improve his professional skills. This has brought him notable results. Suffice it to say that over the last seventeen years, the artist has actively participated in more than thirty large exhibitions held in Russia and abroad - his paintings were exhibited in Hungary (International Exhibition, Budapest, 2001), the UK (at exhibitions of Russian artists, 2003, 2006), and in Finland - Imatra (exhibition of St. Petersburg artists).
