Voronezh "Uspenskaya Church"

Выражен эффект размытости и четкости как преимущество пастельной
живописи, прекрасно подобранная перспектива, удачно интегрированный основной цвет бумаги. Умеренно  и  мастерски  нанесенные слои пастельных  красок, незначительные светлые проблески создают впечатление свежести. / The effect of blurriness and clarity is expressed as an advantage of pastel painting, a perfectly selected perspective, well-integrated primary color of the paper. Moderately and expertly applied layers of pastel colors, slight light glints create an impression of freshness.

Sujet assez difficile à traiter et qui est parfaitement réalisé avec une multitude d'objets plutôt ordinaires ,mais tout cela est mis en valeur par la trés belle palette de couleurs en trés beau camaïeu du gris marron au blanc / Subject quite difficult to treat and which is perfectly realized with a multitude of rather ordinary objects, but all this is highlighted by the very beautiful palette of colors in very beautiful monochrome from gray brown to white
Michelle Caussin-Bellon


Your painting has good composition with limited colors and high contrast that matches with subject.
Javad Soleimanpour Atölyesi

Тема, композиция, общая сдержанная цветовая гамма подобраны со вкусом. Нижние слои пастели выгодно просвечивают через верхние слои и создают благородный эффект шероховатости. Своеобразие картины придают ей особенный стиль. / The theme, composition, general restrained colors are selected with taste. The lower layers of the pastel advantageously shine through the upper layers and create a noble roughness effect. The originality of the picture gives it a special style.

Red currant

Изысканность и реалистичность в деталях. Ягоды красной смородины, в контраст к восхитительно подобранному цвету тени ягод, в игре со светом  создают эффект глянцa бисера. Даже незначительный изъян блюда  придает пикантность картине. Зеркальное отражение цвета ягод также дополняют великолепие композиции. / Refinement and realism in detail. The berries of red currant, in contrast to the delightfully selected color of the shade of berries, in the game with light create the effect of a gloss of beads. Even a slight flaw in the dish adds piquancy to the picture. Mirror reflection of the color of berries also complement the splendor of the composition.
Alena Rachinger

A masterly painted still life with currants. The round, ripe berries invite me to take and enjoy them. The shadows on the plate are colorful and the freshness of the leaves shows the artist's high technical abilities. The small fracture on the edge of the plate completes the round composition.
Dolores Saul

This pastel work attracted me because it is so different from other still life works. Rather than directly expressing the still life model, the artist chose to modify the work by enlarging the flower, giving the work life and a more dramatic touch.

Your painting has good composition with limited colors and high contrast that matches with subject.
Javad Soleimanpour Atölyesi

The theme, composition, and overall restrained color scheme are chosen with taste. The lower layers of the pastels favorably Shine through the upper layers and create a noble roughness effect. The originality of the painting gives it a special style. / Тема, композиция, общая сдержанная цветовая гамма подобраны со вкусом. Нижние слои пастели выгодно просвечивают через верхние слои и создают благородный эффект шероховатости. Своеобразие картины придают ей особенный стиль.

Red currant

The sophistication and realism in the details. Red currant berries, in contrast to the admirably chosen color of the shadow of the berries, in the game with light create the effect of gloss beads. Even a slight flaw in the dish gives piquancy to the picture. The mirror image of the berry color also complements the splendor of the composition. / Изысканность и реалистичность в деталях. Ягоды красной смородины, в контраст к восхитительно подобранному цвету тени ягод, в игре со светом  создают эффект глянцa бисера. Даже незначительный изъян блюда  придает пикантность картине. Зеркальное отражение цвета ягод также дополняют великолепие композиции.
Alena Rachinger

A masterly painted still life with currants. The round, ripe berries invite me to take and enjoy them. The shadows on the plate are colorful and the freshness of the leaves shows the artist's high technical abilities. The small fracture on the edge of the plate completes the round composition.
