The painting "Greek Mythology" is a captivating portrait that brings together elements of fantasy and classical artistry. Rendered in striking black and white tones, the scene portrays a mythical world where the boundaries between humans, creatures, and celestial beings blend. At the center of the composition, a majestic centaur stands tall, displaying the fusion of human and equine forms. The centaur serves as both a symbol of strength and the bridge between earthly and divine realms. Gracefully seated upon the centaur's back is a woman, her presence emanating serenity and harmony. Hovering above this enigmatic duo, an angel glides through the air, evoking a sense of ethereal beauty and spiritual guidance. With outstretched wings and a radiant aura, the angel signifies the celestial realm's connection to mortal existence, offering protection and inspiration. The absence of color in the painting amplifies its dramatic impact, emphasizing the interplay of light and shadow, form and texture. The artist skillfully employs the contrasting shades of black and white to create a sense of depth and contrast, enhancing the mythological ambiance of the scene. Through the painting "Greek Mythology," the artist invites viewers into a world where ancient tales come alive, capturing the essence of Greek mythology and the enduring power of the human imagination.

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.
