Kronwerk Painting

Please follow my tiktok account (@roman.proart) to find out what new paintings I am working on, watch my process and streams. Roman Prokhorov was born in a family of artists. He started painting at the age of three, straight away with oil paints, which were always easily accessible. He took his first steps as a professional artist at the age of 10 under the guidance of his father. A characteristic trait for Roman is inquisitiveness, pushing to master the most diverse forms, genres and trends in art and science. In addition to painting the artist is passionate about: entomology (as a youth he collaborated with the Department of Entomology of the Odessa University and the Department of Entomology of the St. Petersburg University and assembled an extensive collection of beetles and butterflies), paleontology (restores the appearance of extinct animals), macro-photography of live insects in hard-to-reach tropical rain forests, literature (essays and sketches from travel, scripts, stories for children), he playing music on a variety of percussion instruments (specialist in the Kanjira drum). According to the artist, all forms of science and art inevitably converge at one point, the name of this point is harmony. If you look at the whole life of the artist as a search for harmony, all the piling up of interests instantly lays out in a clear and understandable line where no interests conflict, as is commonly understood in the modern model of human existence, but rather complement and nourish each other. Therefore, in the work of the author there are so many different topics and motives. Classical technique is intertwined with fantasy plots and observations, thoughts about nature in general and about human nature. All this is a path, a search, a knowledge of yourself and the world. Roman perceives art in general and painting in particular as an ideal way for self-improvement and as an opportunity for contact with the minds and souls of spectators resonating at the same frequency with the author. The ability to admire the beauty of the world around us, ask questions and answer them using the plastic methods of art is a rare happiness available to modern man.
