Alexander Yurkov (1935)  is a Russian artis who create the unique side of his paintings is that they are not painted with a 
brush, they are made of dried leaves, herbs and flowers. The beautiful 
floral mosaics of dried plants is attached carefully so that the gaps 
between floral patterns could be seen only under close examination. At the moment floral mosaics has become his main hobby and passion and he exhibits his incredible works in the center 
of Nizhny Novgorod in the basement of an old house there is an amazing 
art gallery “Yurkovka.”
