Georgy G. Nissky grew up in Belarus, in the small village of Novobelitsa, located at a few kilometres from the city of Gomel.
All trains and train stations he painted in his career descend somehow from his childhood memories of Novobelitsa railway station…
Georgy G. Nissky: 'I still love my native landscape with the glimmering affection of childhood—the signals, the running rails, the swaying pine trees disappearing into the forest and those endless Belarusian fields of drifting snow …
they are all unforgettable and my heart trembles with those sweet, indelible impressions'.
