The solo exhibition of contemporary painter Akhsar Muriyev entitled MANIFIQUE VOYAGE, ou l'HISTOIRE D'UN HOMME (translated from French: "Magnificent Voyage, or the Story of One Man").

It reveals the author's perspective on his own travels through his personal stories. The French language builds relationships between the works of Akhsar Muriev and the reflections of Marcel Proust and the characters of his magnum opus In Search of Lost Time, emphasizing the philosophical content and nostalgic intonation of the exhibition.
