In 2017, Melisa Erdem, a student from The International School of Moscow, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and fought for her life in the intensive care unit. Fortunately, Melisa survived and soon was discharged from the hospital. Living with this horrific condition meant that Melisa would be tied to hospitals for the rest of her life. There was only one permanent solution – a heart transplant.
Although doctors, concerned with Melisa's state of health, first recommended delaying the operation to avoid possible complications, Melisa has recently got an infection, meaning her heart transplant surgery needs to take place as soon as possible.
Born out of hope and a genuine belief in people's kindness, 'Art to Heart' is an artistic cry for help and a glorious tribute to altruism. It's less of an ordinary exhibition or an auction and more of an immersive experience that invites you on a journey of empathy and creativity to the depths of Melisa's heart.
The auction will consist of two parts: Fine Art and Contemporary. You can participate in the auction both online at bidspirit.com and in person at Cube.Moscow at The Ritz-Carlton, Moscow.

Berezovsky Dmitry Innokentievich; FRUIT PICKING, 1972; cardboard, oil; 50x70 cm;
Berezovsky Dmitry Innokentievich (1920 – 2005) Talented Russian artist, was born in the village of Zhigalovo in the Irkutsk region. The main theme of Berezovsky's work was landscape – the artist for forty years of his activity wrote both thematic paintings and portraits, worked in animation as a production designer, created graphic sheets and decorative panels, but it was the landscape that always took a leading place in his work. All Berezovsky's landscapes are lyrical, full of light and air. Their picturesque structure is characterized by a free dynamic brushstroke and texture. Light, as if penetrating the picture from the outside, naturally interacts with the objects depicted on it. His works of the 1950s resemble impressionist paintings ("In the sun" (1958), "Landscape with a cloud" (1957), "In the evening rays" (1959)). Since 1939 was a participant of exhibitions. During the great Patriotic War, Berezovsky fought on The South-Western, Steppe fronts, and commanded a platoon. In 1950, he graduated from the Russian State University of Cinematography, where his teachers were P. Kotov, Y. Pimenov, G. Shegal, and F. Bogorodsky. After graduation, he studied painting under the direction of K. F. Yuon. In 1952, Berezovsky was accepted as a member of the Moscow Union of Artists. The artist made creative trips to Siberia, Transbaikalia, Central Asia, and Ukraine, where he painted a lot on the plein air. Wherever Berezovsky was, he skillfully conveyed the originality of nature inherent in this particular place. In 1983, Berezovsky's personal exhibition was held in Moscow. The artist had diplomas of Moscow Union of Artists of RSFSR, the prize of the IV International film festival in Karlovy Vary (1951) for best children's film ("Tale of the fisherman and the Golden fish", in which he participated as an art director. The artist's works are presented at the State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), the Museum of contemporary history of Russia (Moscow), Museum-panorama "Battle of Borodino" (Moscow), Irkutsk regional Museum of local lore, Moscow regional Museum and other collections in Russia and abroad.
