Some time ago I really had a friend Alabai named Kolya. Kolya lived on the edge of the village. From time to time he went to the nearest forest for a walk and rarely returned empty. Necessarily brought a hare or a roe deer. Local residents did not like it much. After all, Kolya carried his prey proudly through the whole village. He simply[...]
Some time ago I really had a friend Alabai named Kolya.
Kolya lived on the edge of the village. From time to time he went to the nearest forest for a walk and rarely returned empty. Necessarily brought a hare or a roe deer.
Local residents did not like it much. After all, Kolya carried his prey proudly through the whole village. He simply performed his natural function, he was a dog.
It turns out that even if you are completely organic and honestly fulfill your earthly destiny, there will certainly be someone who does not like it.

I still paint my oil paintings on canvas. Using all sorts of tricky methods of applying paint. But it’s interesting to you.
I put all my energy into my paintings. I try to fill them with harmony and positive to the brim.
I do not always succeed, but I always work on it.

For each painting, I personally write out a certificate of origin.

Igor Andrianov, known as Shulman, is a contemporary Russian painter based in Prague. He is the most acclaimed living figurative artist from Eastern Europe. For Shulman, who enjoys experimenting with a variety of subject matter and painting styles, creativity is essential. He took inspiration from a variety of art movements and used pieces from several of them to construct new, wholly original works. In several of his paintings, he uses a vibrant, vivid background that strips the scene of all other elements in order to draw our attention to the subject. Shulman takes characters from everyday life and references the school of realism to create paintings that are both inventive and creative while also being highly realistic.

Igor Andrianov Shulman was born in 1959, in Russia, where he graduated from the Art College named after A.G.Venezianov. He has been living and working in Prague since 1999; he considers it as the place that inspires artists the most. Shulman has exhibited his works in galleries, museums, and international art fairs. His works are part of private collections in more than 50 countries, including the UK, USA, Canada, China, Brazil.
