Every time I arrive in Moscow, I promise myself to look in detail at the mosaic panels at the Kiev station and every time, running, running, running, I am late for the meeting and there is always no time to stop and take a leisurely look at this monument to the Soviet past. So this time, I clicked on some mosaics so that later I could sit on the plane and look at the details. For reference: Kyivskaya station, which opened in 1954, was designed under the leadership of the famous Soviet architect Yevgeny Ketonin and became a real "underground palace" of the era of the Stalinist empire. The mosaic panels for this station were created by the artist Alexandre Mizin in the complex technique of Roman mosaic. Pieces of colored smolt were chopped by hand and placed at different angles. Because of this, gold and colored elements reflect the light of the lamps unevenly - the mosaic literally "comes to life" and flashes when a passenger walks along the platform. According to the artist's vision, each mosaic is surrounded by a massive and complex golden plaster design, reminiscent of a heavy picture frame, which enhances the feeling of an art gallery. N. on. Moscow you!
