A few words about his life

The biography of the artist Kuznetsov began in the city of Stavropol, which is located in the North Caucasus. This is a beautiful and very picturesque place in Russia. And also the city itself has a very interesting history of its foundation and further development.

Most likely, the place of birth also played a big role in the development of Evgeny Kuznetsov as an artist! After all, they say that everything that surrounds a person from infancy - and people, and nature, and the atmosphere of the area in which a person lives and develops - all this then has a tremendous influence on the formation of his personality, the development of his individuality, on his creativity.

So, Evgeny Kuznetsov was born in 1960, January 1.

Already many see him as an outstanding contemporary artist! His phenomenal talent in the ability to convey the depth of true feelings, the beauty of human nature and the surrounding nature in his paintings is unparalleled! Kuznetsov has his own unique style and genre. He has his own deepest philosophy of seeing life, and this is reflected in his work.

Romanticism and magic emanates from the paintings…

If you look closely at the paintings of an outstanding artist, you can note his original technique, amazing composition and some unearthly beauty.

Sometimes it seems that a complete abstraction is depicted, but in Yevgeny Kuznetsov it is very organically and naturally combined with real images, which in the end shows a single holistic composition that has its own completeness! And she exudes romanticism and magic…

The artist claims that the idea of his paintings appears spontaneously: something abstract and completely incomprehensible suddenly combines in the head into a single holistic picture in which the storyline is visible, and as a result, a real masterpiece appears on the canvas!

For example, as Kuznetsov himself, the artist, says about the painting "The Shepherds' Road" in an interview, the painting began with the painting of an evening field. And then ona shepherd somehow appeared by itself in this field … People who saw this work by Evgeny Kuznetsov claim that they hear the sounds of a shepherd's flute.

And so with many of his works…

The artist boldly experiments, and he always has his own point of view on depicting only what he himself wants to depict, what his soul feels at a particular moment, but not what others expect from him. And it's great!

Flowers in Kuznetsov's painting

The artist loves to depict nature in his works, namely flowers. For him, they are the personification of true perfection and the greatest beauty of the world! Kuznetsov claims the same about women. But more on that later.

Most of all he likes to draw roses and lilies. The first ones on his canvases turn out to be incredibly plastic and lively, bright and at the same time very tender, that you even want to touch them in order to feel their subtlest aroma.

Lilies by the artist Kuznetsov are most often white. It means crystal clear. They are also very beautiful and at the same time incredibly modest in their whiteness and unpretentiousness.

The theme of the couple in Kuznetsov's paintings

But the most truly enchanting plot in the creative works of Evgeny Kuznetsov is the theme of a man and a woman. Each of his works is the peak of perfection and beauty of genuine feelings that can only be between a Woman and a Man!

And how deep and at the same time simple as the world, these names of his paintings:

• "Touchingmelody";
• "Step";
• "Trilling";
• "Flowers and Herbs";
• "Morning Stars";
• "Ray";
• "Good Gardener";
• Window and others.

All this cannot be called anything else, only real romanticism in the painting of Evgeny Kuznetsov.

The theme of a woman for Evgeny Kuznetsov is special and reverent. He treats his beloved wife and muse with the greatest reverence, tenderness and respect! And therefore, each heroine of his paintings is written out with special care and endowed with magical lightness, softness, almost ephemeral, but they are all deeply loved and revered by the artist, because their images are taken from his beloved wife. Although the artist himself claims that he is trying to keep the golden mean here as well.

How does the artist himself live?

Evgeny Kuznetsov travels a lot around the world. In addition to the fact that his exhibitions are almost regularly held in different countries, he can also simply, so to speak, for inspiration, go to some exotic or simply interesting country for him. This is necessary for him, as the artist himself claims, so that his horizons become wider and the picture of the world is more fully visible, which then, naturally, has its reflection on his canvases.

And Kuznetsov, besides painting and traveling, is a very big fan of music and can even play musical instruments. His home collection has some of them.

But the true reflection of his inner world is the paintings of the artist Kuznetsov! They are exactly hownothing else, reflect all his deep essence as a person and creator, his attitude to life and people, to human being in general!
