№AAA2915

"Grandma returns in the evening" is a mesmerizing oil painting that captures the serene beauty of a chilly winter landscape. The artist skillfully creates a rich and immersive scene, inviting viewers to embark on a visual journey into a tranquil setting. The foreground of the painting presents a meandering pathway, partially covered in a thin layer of pristine white snow. It leads the viewer's gaze towards a solitary figure, a woman making her way home through the wintry evening. She is enveloped in a warm brown cloak that gently billows around her, shielding her from the cold embrace of the season. A vibrant red shawl adorns her head, providing a striking contrast against the subdued tones of the surroundings. With each step, she leans on a delicate cane, navigating the path with a steadfast determination. As the viewer's gaze extends beyond the woman, the background reveals a picturesque scene. Sparse, bare trees reach upward towards the gray sky, their gnarled branches reaching out like skeletal fingers. Amidst the branches, a glimpse of a cozy brown house comes into view, its architecture blending harmoniously with the natural landscape. Through one of the house's windows, a warm and inviting glow emanates, offering a glimpse into the comfort and warmth that awaits within. The atmosphere of the painting is serene yet tinged with a touch of solitude, evoking the quiet stillness of a winter's eve. The fading daylight casts soft shadows upon the landscape, creating a sense of calm and introspection. The artist skillfully employs a muted color palette, dominated by cool blues, soft grays, and earthy browns, lending a sense of harmony and unity to the composition. "Grandma returns in the evening" is a testament to the artist's ability to capture the essence of the season, while imbuing the scene with a narrative element. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the woman's journey, the hushed whispers of nature, and the interplay between light and darkness, ultimately evoking a sense of peace, reflection, and the anticipation of finding warmth and solace in the embrace of home.

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.
