The author's oil painting "Girl with a cup of tea"

The author's oil painting "Girl with a cup of tea" is permeated with the atmosphere of a summer afternoon lull, when time slows down, thoughts become transparent, and the face expresses the most subtle feelings. In the center of the composition is a young heroine with a radiant look, leaning her head on her palm in a thoughtful and at the same time easy pose. The artist captured not just a moment of relaxation, but an inner state — anticipation, a dream, perhaps awakened by the scent of chamomile, barely noticeably pinned to a dress, and morning tea in a thin porcelain cup with gilding. Lush pink and lilac sleeves, airy curls, accents on jewelry and flowers woven into the hairstyle create an image that is both romantic and lively. A light, pastel-layered palette, light strokes written out with an almost dancing brush movement, give the work a feeling of freshness, wind and depth. A glass glass with wildflowers, like the girl herself, is a symbol of fleeting beauty caught in the moment.

Alexander Viktorovich Fomin, a gallery owner and artist, deeply appreciates impressionism and demonstrates his love for this style in stunning paintings. His works reflect the essence of light and color in nature, as well as the emotions and beauty of everyday moments.

The artist was born in Moscow. Alexander Fomin took his first lessons from his older brother. The novice painter was 22 years old when he first picked up a brush. Revolving in a circle of artists and selling paintings by his older brother, Alexander takes up the brush, watching as canvases are born. He studied literally "over his shoulder", closely following his brother's work.

Feeling that he can embody his impressions and ideas on canvas, Alexander makes the first strokes. Hard work and diligence paid off: in 1992, he was invited to an exhibition in West Germany. This was an important event and an incentive to choose the profession of an impressionist painter.

The artist's favorite themes are urban landscapes, retrospectives of old streets of Paris, Moscow and German cities. Today, Alexander's works are in private collections and museums, including in the city of Emmerich (West Germany), as well as in the estate of the Leontiev noblemen (descendants of Generalissimo Suvorov) and other top officials of countries and states.

The painting is addressed to connoisseurs of feminine beauty, captured with light, almost musical precision, to those who are able to capture the emotional overtones in a simple gesture, expressiveness in a glance, the freshness of summer in white lace and chamomile. An ideal choice for those who are looking for a sincere touch to life rather than a decoration in art.
