He says their productions focus on the life and work of ordinary people after World War II, including how people reconstructed the war-torn capital city, Minsk.

He adds the 1960s also saw a boost of Beralusian landscapes in which one can "feel a love of the country, a sentimental mood, an excellent arrangement of colors and a revealing of people's mental being in the depiction of daily scenes".

Belarus declared independence in 1991 during the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

Prakaptsou says contemporary artists have sought for a national cultural identity, and they take great interest in the origin and traditions of ethnic Belarus culture.

The paintings of Mikalai Seliashchuk and Vasil Kastiuchenka on display, for example, take their inspiration from the country's folk tales, festivals and fables.
