Revealed by light, the texture and color come up together in the set of three interior paintings made by Nargiza Usmanova. Titles of works, LAGUNA, SERPENT and SCRAPS, say by itself. Turquoise LAGUNA resembles tropical beaches and sea waves, warm colors of strips on SERPENT are associated with the dragon, and muted graphical elements in SCRAPS look like weaving process.
