Moon over the city Painting

Andrey Shuvalov was born in the city of Ivanovo 31. 03.1989 Artist Since 2009 he has been a teacher of drawing, painting, composition at the Children's art school in Ivanovo. I would like my work to be seen by as many people as possible. I devote all my free time to drawing. This allows me to cope with the difficulties of everyday life, lack of communication and loneliness. In my work, I find the harmony of existence. I work as a teacher of drawing, painting, composition, teaching children of different ages. At school, I teach realistic representation of reality, improve my visual skills in my work, consolidate the realistic school of drawing... the Subjects of my paintings are scenes from life, native lands, images dear to my heart, tourist places where I visited, which left indelible impressions. I love to draw cities in different times and States, seascapes, with the transfer of water transparency and time of day, still lifes with mushrooms that I collected myself... I do not limit myself to painting, in between complex, detailed plots, I make detailed sketches of wildlife, forests, tree fragments, architectural motifs and graphic portraits. In my paintings, I use bright, rich, almost pure colors to get away from the gray everyday life that envelops working days. Sometimes I choose a limited color and try to come to color harmony. Sometimes I repeat myself in coloristic solutions, but I try to come up with my own color scheme in each new story. They say that the most valuable thing in a picture is its incompleteness, when the artist gives the viewer the opportunity to come up with his own interpretation of what he saw. I try to complete the realistic subjects of my paintings, to finish them, to bring them to a harmonious unity, to balance all the components of my subjects. This is inherent in my essence, even randomness needs order. I strive for all possible harmony, in painting and drawing. Any picture is a self-portrait of its author, revealing the spiritual depth of consciousness. But at the same time, the finished work belongs not only to the Creator, the viewer meeting the image, passing it through his perception, gives the work of art a meaning understandable only to him. Art should be seen, because it is a source of inspiration for moving forward, serves as a bridge among different people and cultures. I would like to sell my painting or drawing to art lovers abroad. I feel my demand when people buy my works.
