If you want to admire the portraits of famous and ordinary people, pay attention to the paintings of Alexander Shilov. Creating another work, he conveys in it the individuality, character, mood of a person.

About the artist

Alexander Maksovich Shilov was born in Moscow in 1943. He received his first professional artistic skills at the House of Pioneers, which was located in the Timiryazevsky district of the capital. Here Alexander studied at the art studio.

From 1968 to 1973 he was a student at the Moscow State Academic Art Institute. V. I. Surikov. Since 1976 Shilov has been a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR. In 1997, he was given premises near the Kremlin to open a personal gallery. There you can see paintings by Alexander Shilov.

He is a full member of the Russian Academy of Arts, a member of the Council for Culture and Art under the President of the Russian Federation. Alexander Maksovich was awarded many orders, signs, medals, diplomas for his high merits. He is also the recipient of several awards.

Portrait of Masha

This is the name of one of the works,which was created by the artist Alexander Shilov. His paintings allow the characters of the canvases to come to life in front of the audience. They inspire other creative people as well. So, the poet Ivan Esaulkin, inspired by the work of a talented artist, wrote five quatrains dedicated to the painting, which was created in 1983.

The canvas is painted in pastel technique. The poet calls it fabulous. He says that Shilov achieved his goal - shed light on our souls. Such a feeling arises when you look at the paintings of Alexander Shilov.

The description of this portrait can be started with the fact that Mashenka is 3 years old. This is the artist's daughter from his second marriage. Unfortunately, she passed away early - at the age of sixteen.

Love for his daughter, the artist was able to convey through paints and brushes. The girl holds her favorite toy, looks at the viewer with clear blue eyes. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised in a half smile. It can be seen that the child is happy. The mood of the hero of the canvas is conveyed by other paintings by Alexander Shilov.

In this work, the artist managed to show even the smallest details of the attire, folds and frills of a beautiful dress are visible. The curves on the sleeve were able to convey the movement of the hand.

The girl is sitting on a chair. The decor and clothes help to understand that we are in front of a real princess. All this was passed on to the artist, who loved his daughter very much.

One

Paintings by Alexander Shilov show not only happy, but also sad people who evoke a feeling of compassion.

The canvas "One" was painted in 1980. It depicts an elderly woman. She is drinking tea from an iron mug with two sweets nearby. But the meal does not bring joy to the old woman. She sadly looks in front of her, because she is sad and lonely. These are the details and the mood of the characters that Alexander Maksovich Shilov can convey, whose paintings you can look at for hours.

Once a woman was married, it can be seen from the ring on her hand. Previously, villagers were unable to purchase gold jewelry, so the ring could be made of iron, or at best, silver.

If a woman has children, they most likely moved to live in the city. In those days, young people aspired to leave the countryside. Granny sits and is sad near the wooden table. Perhaps she remembered her difficult life? Or is she thinking about when the children and grandchildren will finally arrive? The viewer wants it to happen as soon as possible. Then the old woman's house will be filled with noisy conversations, cheerful children's laughter, and she will be happy.

These are the thoughts and desires evoked by Alexander Shilov's paintings.

Summer in the village

The painting “Summer in the Village” was created by the artist in 1980. It depicts a real Russian beauty against the backdrop of picturesque nature. The cut makes the outfit look like the attire of young ladies of past centuries. Just like this girl, they loved to spend the summer months in the countryside. In those days, the head and hands were covered, but on this canvas the artist Alexander Shilov depicted a modern girl. His paintings, like this one, carry a cheerfulmood.

The variegated meadow sets off the beautiful figure of a girl in white. She has bouffant hair, a long braid.

The sky is reflected in the big eyes of the heroine. It is blue, with purple tints. The horizon line is clearly shown. There, the blue sky turns into a field with emerald grass. In the foreground are tall blue flowers mixed with pink, yellow, white.

The girl folded her hands humbly, genuine modesty in her eyes. All this helps to feel the character of the heroine, which was painted by Shilov Alexander Maksovich. Paintings like this show the charm and irresistibility of nature.

Paintings

In the paintings "Rick", "Indian Summer", "Beyond the outskirts", "The Holy Key near the village of Ivankovo" the artist depicted nature on one of the warm summer days.

The canvas "Stog" is multifaceted. We see a stack of hay. The peasants mowed the grass, dried it for more than one day. Now they piled the finished hay into a pile. To prevent the blades of grass from being blown away by the wind, they applied a slug on both sides.

Stog is located on a high sloping shore. If you go down, you can be near the river. The sky is reflected in its deep waters. Lush bushes and trees fit very well. The dark green perfectly sets off the light green that covers the banks of the river.
