Author's oil painting "Summer Bouquet"

The oil painting in the genre of classical still life is a true hymn to a flourishing life. An exquisite floral arrangement, assembled with refined taste, is revealed to the viewer: lush roses, curved tulips, delicate phlox and multi-layered hollyhocks are gathered in a magnificent bouquet placed in luxurious silver vessels. The petals are filled with light and shades, each brushstroke conveys freshness and sophistication, as if the flowers had just been cut in the morning garden. The background is a drapery of thick wine velvet and a colonnade, creating the depth and atmosphere of an aristocratic interior. Special attention is drawn to the details – the chiseled texture of the dishes, the reflections of light on the glass, the naturalness of the leaves, as if breathing on the canvas. The painting feels the breath of an era when flora served not just as an ornament, but spoke about the taste, wealth and status of the owner.

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 the circle of artists and selling paintings by his older brother, Alexander takes up the brush, watching how 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.

This work is intended for a collector who appreciates the perfect harmony of the composition, the depth of artistic intent and impeccable execution. It will decorate an office or a formal living room, expressing not only the aesthetic flair of the owner, but also his desire to surround himself with real works of art.
