"Belarusians, or the Twinkle of Eternity" is an art project by the Italian Emmanuele Ventanni, whose works triumphantly march through the art galleries of Italy, are presented at various prestigious festivals in different countries.

Emanuele Ventanni is an artist of European renown. Ventanni's works have been a resounding success everywhere: since his debut solo exhibition in 1981 at the exhibition center of the San Francesco complex in Montona, he has marched through the best art galleries in Europe: from Milan to Nice, from Barcelona to Rome, from Lyon to Venice.

Ventanni's works look hyper-realistic externally, in which the color is replaced by a monochrome transition reminiscent of the legendary chiaroscuro of the Renaissance. Soft tones of modulation, from dark to lighter, breathe life into the female figure, which, regardless of size, real or monumental, is a tribute to grace, elegance and beauty.

The central theme of the project is the pristine beauty of Belarusian girls. The idea of its creation arose after the participation of the Italian master in the First International Biennale of Contemporary Painting in Minsk in 2008, where he took first place among artists from 15 countries and where he got acquainted with the works of the most famous Belarusian photographer of European beauties Alena Adamchik. And, of course, the maestro was charmed and did his best to communicate with them personally! As a result, this project with beautiful Belarusians was born.

It is curious that one of the heroines whose beauty impressed Ventanni was the famous singer Angelica Agurbash. And when the exhibition of the artist opened in the Vitebsk Museum during the Slavyansky Bazar festival, Angelika, depicted on it, shone on the stage of the Summer Amphitheater — both as a participant in concert programs and as the host of a competition for young performers. They say that the famous singer and titled beauty still took a minute to look into the museum to admire her portrait.

The mysteries of female beauty have been troubling mankind throughout the history of its existence. There is hardly a person who would not try to comprehend them, but everyone discovered them in their own way.
