About

Alexey Anikin included in the list of the Best Russian contemporary artists (Art Index). A wonderful Russian master of landscape Alexey Anikin was born in 1968 in Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region. He received his first painting lessons at the local art school. In 1987 he graduated from Suzdal art and restoration school. Since 1991 Alexey Anikin takes part in exhibitions and is the prize-winner and the finalist of the competitions of painting held in Europe, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Dzerzhinsk. Works of the master of a landscape are in private and corporate, bank collections of Russia, America, China, England, Israel, Canada, Italy, Germany. The artist creates his paintings in the best traditions of Russian landscape painting, drawing inspiration from the familiar landscapes of Central Russia. Reality is the source of Alexey Anikin's creative impulse. Shishkin also said that "nature should be sought in all its simplicity – drawing should follow it in all the whims of form." The author carefully observes the form of intricately intertwined branches of trees overgrown with moss stumps, velvety and prickly needles, noisy green foliage. However, he does not just copy, "photographs"... in the image of nature is more of a poet – calm, observant, searching. After all, the poetry of landscapes is the poetry of nature itself, which opens when a person comes into contact with it. Most of Alexei's works are written in "walking distance": it is a forest that stretches around his native city, groves and swamps near the village where he spent his childhood, and where he likes to return again and again, drawing inspiration from the constantly opening to the eye new details of the long-familiar protected areas. All of your creative search, the artist was trying to convey "multum in parvo" - the unique beauty of the nature of the Central Russian strip. What we can all easily see for ourselves, but do not notice the bustle of the running days. Paintings by Alexei Anikin – a pure luxury landscape, the charm of Russian nature.
