ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Choosing the topic of the thesis, I stopped at the view of the Ferapontov Monastery. Located in a picturesque area near a lake in the Vologda region, the architectural ensemble rises among the landscape. Not numerous bathhouses on the banks of the reservoir and herbs and flowers give the soul the necessary rest. In the monastery itself, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, frescoes of Dionysius and his sons have been preserved. The heavenly battle in my picture symbolizes the spiritual struggle of man, the victory of the spiritual over the bodily. Spiritual rebirth leaves hope for every youth who seeks the truth in the hope of salvation. Publications: Златоверховникова О.Н. Семён Кожин. – М.: Принт люкс, 2007. – 120 с.

1979 Born in Moscow. Committed to the Russian realistic school, graduate of the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, he aspires for absolute fidelity in reproducing the reality.I am driven by the desire to do this very kind of creative activity, one which would tell the truth about the surrounding world, Simon says, Any reproduction is subjective indeed, but I do hope that my painting is close to nature and harmony. I do what I am interested in, what I believe in. Thus I try to find unusual motifs, themes, I travel a lot, read a lot, watch a lot.The artists range of interests is wide: historical picture, still life, landscape, illustration. Unusual is his approach to solution of each new canvas, no formulas, nothing typical. Some canvases appeal at once by the consummate craft, fullness of colour and light, and feel. Others require focused attention, contemplation, rational approach.
