Nadezhda Dneprovskaya, artist

The radical Muscovite, Nadezhda Dneprovskaya, drew horses since the earliest childhood.

Having been born in working quarters of Moscow, near ZIL plant, never before seeing any horse "alive", she drew them, gray, bay, red.

Favourite movies of the childhood: "The hussar ballad", "Three musketeers". And in her children's drawings executed at art school hussars battled and musketeers rushed to rescue someone.

For the first time Nadezhda has seen a live horse in 16 years on a hippodrome and has understood that she is ready to devote to this amazing being all the life.

At first Nadezhda began to go in hire, dreaming of sport, and having come to MGPI of V. I. Lenin on art and graphic faculty, has organized student's group for occupations by equestrian sport in KSSh "Petrel" where she has received the second category on jumping. Here there was also a problem: to devote itself to equestrian sport or painting? That and another requires full return.

Fortunately, I have won against painting. Nadezhda Dneprovskaya participated in the Moscow and all-Union exhibitions, at the same time working as the art teacher and drawing at high school.

In 1980 Nadezhda managed to settle the translator from French on the Moscow Olympic Games. She saw all equestrian sport competitions, communicated with athletes and their magnificent horses. At the same time in a conference room of KSK "Bittsa" there took place it the personal exhibition "Olympic Games and Equestrian Sport". After this exhibition was some more, in KSSh "Petrel".
Nadezhda Dneprovskaya works much, and in 1986 she is accepted in MOSH. Dneprovskaya expresses special gratitude to the national artist of Russia Dreznina Vera Aleksandrovna, for her valuable advice and help.

Same 1986 Nadezhda Dneprovskaya has organized group of riding on the Central Moscow Hippodrome for artists, among fans of riding there were A. Dormenko, M. Ostrovskaya, D. Uspensky, M. Smorchevsky. In their creativity the horse takes not the last place.

Somehow to see the world, (don't forget, then all lived behind "Iron Curtain"), Nadezhda Dneprovskaya has achieved business trip in MNR where she taught the Mongolian children drawing and drawing. Having worked year there, she has brought a cycle of works and among them there is a triptych: "The Mongolian spring", "Landscape with horses" and "Catching of a horse".

Nadezhda Dneprovskaya works on a picture in a classical manner. She comes to horses, both to stables and to an arena, and to Levada, or on triathlon competitions observes, absorbs impressions.

Izmailovo. Early September morning, the easy drizzling rain. In such wound, in such dampness true fans of equestrian sport leave on walk. The picture and is called "Walk". Will fasten saddles, horses sniff, steam rises, the young man and the girl have stopped for a moment, and everything around too has as if stood around them. And nothing exists around, only they and horses.
