Lidia Kozlova's 'New Year's Night' (1992) shows the traditional celebration of the last night of the old year in a village. Painted in warm blue tones, it feels like grandma herself is telling old stories by the flickering fireplace. The images at the edges describe the activities of children and adults during this magical night. In the center of the painting, the New Year is welcomed. 

     Lidia Kozlova wants the viewer to see her paintings as a lucky charm, as a symbol of personal happiness and satisfaction. Her work is not only an investment in cultural heritage, but also the passing on of this heritage from generation to generation.
