Hyper-Realism Landscape Master Artist
Russian Federation
Vladimir Davydenko, born in 1966 in
Lipetsk, Russia is a proud member of the Union of Artists of Russia. He is a regular
participant of regional, and Russian exhibitions and his works are displayed in
private collections in many European countries. The works of the artist, who is
a supporter of realistic painting, always evoke a lively response from fans and
connoisseurs of art.
Vladimir's
paintings are distinguished by a clear plot and as close as possible to reality
and he manages to depict with amazing accuracy the changing state of nature. He
paints his landscapes without leaving the studio, from memory and to paint a
landscape, artists tend to go out into nature and make sketches for a future
painting. For Vladimir such a preparatory stages are insignificant. Although he
does not refuse from nature, he uses his amazing visual memory and his amazing
pieces always accurately depict the color scheme of snow, clouds, and water.
Vladimir often
turns to the experience of the great masters of the past in his work. He
believes that the rule of the golden section, as well as other achievements of
Renaissance artists have not been abolished and there are time-tested landmarks
on which to be equaled. Careful study of details is visible in his work the
artist and in portraits, and in genre paintings, which are for him favorite.
There is a theme in
the artist's work, which is filled with special internal content for him and Vladimir
has created a portrait gallery of Russian monasticism. In 2000, Vladimir
painted the painting "Two Monks", which was exhibited in Moscow at
the All-Russian Art Exhibition dedicated to the 2000th anniversary of
Christianity. If this work evokes a minor mood and is imbued with philosophical
reflection on the frailty of life, then Vladimir's new work "The Joy of
Life" is optimistic and corresponds to the inner mood of the artist. In
December 2009, a painting portrait of Patriarch Alexis II was presented by the him to the current head
of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, and placed in the Museum of
Alexia II in the Church of Christ the Savior.
"Everyone is like a universe - complex and mysterious to infinity," says Vladimir. And so he wants to achieve in portraits maximum psychology as he'd like to believe that's how it's going to be.
