"Man in the Sky" is a captivating black and white portrait that takes viewers on a journey of imagination and freedom. At the heart of the painting is a striking image of a man soaring through the open sky, gracefully suspended in a glider that resembles the majestic wings of a bird. The glider's sleek form and intricate details are expertly captured, showcasing the artist's attention to the essence of flight. Against the contrasting monochromatic backdrop, the man's presence commands attention as he effortlessly navigates the boundless heavens. His body language exudes a sense of liberation and exhilaration, his outstretched arms embracing the wind with an air of fearless adventure. His face, turned upward with a hint of a smile, reflects a deep sense of contentment and awe, capturing the sheer joy of defying gravity and exploring new horizons. Beneath the man in flight, a forest of trees emerges from the ground, their branches reaching upward as if attempting to join him in the ethereal realm. The artist's deft strokes capture the intricate patterns and textures of the foliage, grounding the composition and providing a sense of scale to the extraordinary scene above. The trees serve as a reminder of the earthly realm left behind, representing the solid foundation that enables dreams to take flight. The choice of black and white as the medium enhances the painting's ethereal quality, emphasizing the timeless and universal nature of the human spirit's longing for exploration and freedom. The absence of color invites viewers to focus on the contrast between light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and dimension within the composition. "Man in the Sky" is a powerful testament to the boundless human imagination and the yearning for adventure that resides within us all. It invites viewers to contemplate their own aspirations and the limitless possibilities that await when we dare to spread our wings and soar above the constraints of the ordinary.

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.
