About museum

Nina Nikiforova, a doctor by profession and author of art works made of waste products, was always worried about the wasteful practices of people towards nature and its resources. In 2006, after the first successful exhibition of her works, characterized by their positive and aesthetic appeal, the unusual White Horse family gallery opened in the resort town of Gelendzhik. Nina Nikifirova developed her own path in the fine arts that was called “Waste-Magic-Art”, which is a variation of the famous field of Trash Art. It differs in a way that the viewer, as a rule, contemplating a work in this style and comprehending the philosophical meaning laid down by the author, not only receives positive emotions, but also begins to think about environmental issues, marveling at the amazing transformation of waste into beauty. The mission of the White Horse Gallery is to restore harmony with nature, turning something that destroys it into a work of art.

The collection of artworks by Nina Nikoforova, numbering about a thousand, includes paintings, assemblages, collages, sculptures, architectural forms, interior items, and souvenirs. The gallery’s exposition is located in a vivid corner of the resort city (the Blue Bay area) and covers an area of about 600 square meters: part under the open sky, in the shade of Pitsunda pine trees, as well as in the summer pavilion and in the exhibition hall, behind the glass partition of which is the artist’s studio, where workshops are held.
