Ayvazovsky canvas to decorate Simferopol airport  

A 20 square meter sea canvas by famous Russian-Armenian marine painter Ivan (Hovhannes) Ayvazovksy will be placed at the Sinferopol International Airport as a sign of respect for the great artist.

The painting will feature young Ayvazovsky's image at the center, RIA Novosti reports, citing the airport's press service.

Takvida art studio, a team of artists specializing in cluster and graphite painting, embarked on the creation of the special work on June 12, the day marking Ayvazovsky's birth anniversary, an official statement said.

Painter Alexander Militzin and the Desert365 team are involved in the creative endeavor.
