№AAA2855

The colored pencil painting, "The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ," presents a deeply emotive portrait that encapsulates the profound sacrifice and spiritual significance of this pivotal moment in Christian history. The central focus of the composition is the figure of Jesus Christ, suspended on a wooden cross, serving as the ultimate symbol of divine redemption. Rendered with meticulous attention to detail, the portrayal of Jesus Christ captures the anguish and serenity of his countenance. His face bears the weight of the world's suffering, yet emanates a profound sense of compassion and unwavering faith. The artist skillfully highlights the pain and sacrifice endured through the subtle interplay of light and shadow, delicately rendering the furrows on his brow and the lines of pain on his face. On either side of Jesus, the artist has depicted ethereal angels in prayer. These celestial beings, clothed in flowing garments, exude a sense of reverence and awe. Their delicate wings, rendered with soft hues of white and silver, symbolize purity and divine presence. Each angel's face is a portrait of devotion, as their eyes are closed, and their hands are clasped in heartfelt supplication. Their presence offers solace and comfort, emphasizing the spiritual significance of the crucifixion. The background, painted in a profound black hue, serves as a stark and dramatic contrast to the illuminated figures in the foreground. This choice of color enhances the solemnity and gravity of the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures and their message of redemption. "The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ" is a testament to the power of faith, sacrifice, and divine love. Through the artist's expert use of colored pencils, the painting captures the essence of this pivotal moment in Christian theology, inviting viewers to contemplate the depths of compassion and grace embodied in Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

About the artists: Alexander Arkadievich Litvinov was born on May 18, 1967 in the city of Lubny. He graduated from the Lubensk secondary school № 1. One of his favorite lessons was drawing. I was even more attracted by studies at an art school, where boys and girls were introduced to high art thanks to the wise teachers Vasily Semenyuta, Anatoly Kharchuk, Nikolai Korablev, Tamara Moshnikoviy. Especially in his artistic development, Alexander owes to Vasily Ivanovich Semenyuta, his classical school of teaching, which he enriched in his time through his acquaintance with famous artists Alexei Asaulenko and Petr Likhin. And also an extremely important role in the passion for painting was played by the fact that Alexander's father, Arkady Petrovich Litvinov, was both a talented artist and an excellent teacher. He had 53 years of teaching experience - he taught drawing and drawing at the Lubensk school №8, many of his students connected their professions with artistic creativity. Alexander's elder brother, Oleg Arkadyevich Litvinov, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, now lives in Odessa, also chose the artistic path.

And after leaving school, Alexander served in the army, where his artistic talent came in handy - in Soviet times, visual agitation was highly valued. He served in Dnepropetrovsk, where two personal exhibitions of his paintings were organized. While still at school, Alexander began to design books, in particular, children's literature. He received his first creative fee in the tenth grade from the publishing house "Raduga" for the design of the book by Anatoly Rybakov "Krosh's Vacation". Later she studied at the Odessa Theater and Art School, specializing in "Decoration of puppet shows and artistic and props art."

Studying at the school and passion from childhood with historical and biblical literature greatly influenced the creative manner of the artist. He works in the style of the so-called figurative art, where the main thing is the image of the human body.
