The exhibition comprises 30 works, of which 15 ones from museum’s collections and another 15 from private collections. ‘’Inessa Tapin was an artist who made herself conspicuous very much in her last years of work. She did not get involved in any subjects. She operated with the colour, which stays at the basis of the painting. She had a sure and quite stable painting approach,’’ the director of the aforementioned museum, Tudor Zbarnea, said.
