Cold and Sunny, 2016. Oil on canvas.
Most of the works in the exhibition are landscapes. The works of this genre demonstrate all the main styles that the artist was a master of, from the subtlest types of nature in drawing and colour nuances to the chaos of strokes, in the movement of which familiar images appear.
Fishing, 2016. Oil on canvas.
Landscapes, still lifes and thematic paintings are united by the main quality of the artist’s painting that is a powerful life-affirming energy, the burning of the author's inner light, generously radiated on the viewer. And thus the artist will remain in our memory as a strong, sincere and generous romantic who fascinates you by the world of beauty that he creates.
