Soviet Astronaut Gherman Titov
Our next carpet on a theme taken from astronautics!
Outstanding carpet artist Latif Karimov also referred to this topic in his creativity. Let's take a closer look at the carpet dedicated to the well-known astronaut Gherman Titov, who flew to space after Y. Gagarin.
The artist once again demonstrated his ability to create wonderful carpet compositions with an original artistic solution. The carpet's central field and its border dynamically and expressively show the rapid launch of space rockets. Celestial bodies, planets, zodiac signs on the colorful decorative carpet are in perfect harmony with the portrait of the astronaut in the upper right corner of the carpet.
