The art exhibition of Yaroslavl’s painter V.M. Vorontsov titled “Healing with Nature” was opened in the administration building of the Museum of Dionisy’s Frescoes within the framework of the conference “Russian Saints”.

It is interesting to note that the creator of the displayed works is a doctor. But his creative career started long ago. He is a participant of various exhibitions. He graduated not only from Yaroslavl Medical Institute, but also from the Art School.

Viktor Vorontsov admits: “I like to paint landscapes most of all. Observation of the processes taking place in nature, sunrises and sunsets over water and fields, rain and fog, quick change of natural phenomena help me in my main job – to understand people in a better way, to feel their mood, to feel with them. My pictures are always placed on the walls of the workroom. They are art therapy for me and for patients as well, I hope”.
