In contemporary times, traditional portrait painting has been impacted by advanced technology, and the painting concepts of many painters have undergone great changes, in their eyes, the valuable experience left by the previous masters has become an outdated dross, they have given up the psychological and emotional factors in painting creation, and the paintings have gradually become vulgar and superficial under the influence of commercialization.
Oil painting by Vladimir Davydenko
Vladimir Davydenko, born in 1966 in Lipetsk, Russia, is a leading member of the Union of Russian Artists. Vladimir was an advocate of realistic painting, his work always aroused a warm response from art lovers and connoisseurs, he was a frequent visitor to exhibitions in the Lipetsk region and Russia, and his works were collected by private collections in many European countries.
Vladimir's paintings are known for their clear plots and as close to reality as possible, and he succeeds in depicting the changing state of nature with precision.
Unlike the Impressionist painters who went outside, his landscape work never left the studio, but instead painted landscapes by memory.
For his part, Vladimir, while he did not refuse to walk into nature, considered the preparatory stages such as sketching and sketching before creation to be insignificant. With his astonishing visual memory and his skillful expressive technique, he is always able to accurately depict the colors and forms of snow, clouds and water.
Vladimir often draws on the painting experience of his predecessors in his works, and he believes that the golden section is still the most important compositional rule in painting, and the achievements of the great artists of the Renaissance still have guiding significance for modern painting creation after time.
The reason why Vladimir's portraits are unforgettable is that his ultimate purpose is not to create paintings, but to use brushes and color collocation and modeling, applied to the portrayal of human facial expressions, and expressing his emotions in the language of oil painting, which is guiding Vladimir to create.
Although his works follow the realistic painting language, they incorporate more inner spiritual expressions, and the vivid images of his characters have both classical elegance and modern rich agility. The characters in the painting are not only the reality of appearance, but also a kind of soul-oriented realism.
【Conclusion】
Vladimir said: "Everyone is like a universe – complex and mysterious to infinity. Therefore, I want to understand and depict his inner world to the greatest extent possible in the portrait. "Vladimir is using realistic techniques to feel the truth of the character's spirit, he is more like a spokesman for the characters in the painting, telling the viewer the twists and turns behind the characters."
