Actually, ‘a poetical thread’ ran through expositions of the halls: Margarita complemented visuals of her exhibition with ‘poetical illustrations’: fragments from the poems by Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova, Bulat Okudzhava and Federico Garcia Lorca.

It was not the first experience for the artist: at XVI International ART-November-09 Festival of Arts, Margarita had illustrated her one-man exhibition FRAGMENTS with extracts from rubáiyát by Omar Khayyam.
