Gallery of paintings and sculptures produced during the
Arts Festival by the artists who participated
-
Alexandre Osipov
Alexandre Osipov paints fantastically beautiful pictures. They are consistent in composition, shape, colour and craft. He paints pictures without breaking, without stem displacement. He paints in the unbroken understanding of the artist for his own work.
The painting seems to be his love. It takes him into the realm of illusion, a fantasy world, in the pure beauty. He thrives on this painting, which is unique for us Europeans, as a relic that rises from earlier centuries back - only foreign to us with a deeper meaning. -
