Delving deeper into the world of Petr Nikolayevich Maltsev's art, one is struck by his profound love for nature and his homeland. His paintings are not merely images, but poetic visions that convey the beauty and harmony of the surrounding world.
Maltsev painted from life, and his works invite us on a journey through the Ukrainian village of the mid-20th century. We see familiar landscapes: serene fields, sprawling trees, and quiet rivers. Yet, thanks to the artist's talent, these seemingly «ordinary» motifs acquire a special poetic depth, reminiscent of the autumnal landscapes and cottages that are increasingly rare in modern life, giving way to urban landscapes and new buildings with plastic windows.
His paintings are not just canvases with paint, but entire stories filled with warmth, light, and soul. Each landscape is an invitation to a peaceful journey through the Ukrainian countryside.
Contemplating a painting is like a breath of fresh air, capable of carrying us away from the hustle and bustle of the city and giving us a sense of calm.
Professional photography is not only technical perfection but also a deep understanding of art. A photographer must be able to see in a painting not only colors and shapes but also the meaning, mood, and story embedded in it. It is this that allows us to create photographs that not only reproduce the original but also convey its energy and evoke the same emotions in the viewer as in the author of the painting.
