A Street in Hungary Painting

About the artist Vladimir Kolov (Vladimir Valentinovich Kolov, 1961) was born in Kurgan, Russia and graduated from the State Institute of Art in Krasnoyarsk, where he studied painting under renowned Russian artists Vladilen Kharlamov and Anatoly Znak. In recent years, Vladimir succeeded in many genres including still life, portraiture and genre art. His favorite motifs are evening and night lightning, unusual nature and space phenomena, provincial life and rhythms of the modern city. The unique ease and willfulness of Vladimir’s brushstrokes give a special texture to his paintings. Sometimes a thin layer on the easel reflects the smooth and gradual movements of the artist; whereas sometimes the painter’s short palette knife strokes create an effect like cooled magma. The artist says his creative method may be called associative realism as he doesn’t lose connection with nature while separating himself from it. Balancing on this edge, this unique artist is constantly changing, while preserving his individuality.
