Biography
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.

Printing.
Hi all !!!
I have good news for you.
Now you can buy prints in the original size.
Or in any other size.
This applies to all but the last 10 pictures. I can do those too, but on request.
The prices of the prints on this site are more than respectable. Combined with the excellent workmanship, the product is definitely worth your attention.
Enjoy!)

A test video of my own production. I am not a good cameraman, but I am learning)))
In fact, I have this. I just don't know if anyone needs it or not. Maybe someone will like it, then I will shoot more. It actually takes a lot of time, which I don't have. But I will try).

Im trying.
I am drawing more and more and publishing less and less of my paintings.
For the last half year I've been trying to get out of stress. I'm trying to beat the depression out of me with my work.
It's not working, but I'm trying.

Article
“All my life is creativity. Even in dream I draw the new pictures, I find new decisions, I think out a new reality. It is difficult for me to prefer what either style or a direction. That is difficult to stop on what genre. All is interesting to me. In art for me there are no unknown zones or the closed doors. I can draw, paint or project, but from all I receive pleasure because that I do all, I do with all the heart.
I cannot live without my creativity of any day.”

Reviews and comments
Thank you very much for your generous assessment.
I do not conduct master classes. I have neither the time nor the energy for that.
I love to paint and do not like to talk about how to paint.
To do that, you need to be at least a little bit of a teacher. Unfortunately, I am not a teacher at all; I am an artist.
I truly love your work! Do you ever run workshops?
Thank u very much!!!!

Bravissimo e molto originale
Very good and very original
Grazie!!! Sono davvero felice che ti sia piaciuto.
Thank you!!! I'm really glad you liked it.
You know better)))))
thank you very much! I tried :)
refined and original artist, excellent technique , top
"Etude 221 Reflex" by Igor Shulman captures the essence of introspection and reflection beautifully. The way the artist uses oil on canvas to play with light and shadow creates an almost ethereal atmosphere.
The subtle colors and the contemplative posture of the central figure invite us on an inner journey, a moment of pause and meditation. Each brushstroke seems designed to evoke a sense of calm and emotional depth.
What do you feel when you look at this piece? What stories does it inspire in you?
I would love to hear your interpretation.
I assume this question is not addressed to me.))))
Thank you for your professional, knowledgeable parsing of the picture.
It was a pleasure to read it for me as an author.
I hope your readers will respond. It would be interesting to hear their opinions.
Bravo Igor pour cette belle réalisation, mais j'ai des doutes quand même quant au résultat du concert de caquètements accompagnés du chant du coq, pour mélomane averti. Schubert n'a qu'à bien se tenir.... Amicalement. Gaby
Bravo Igor for this great achievement, but I still have doubts as to the result of the concert of cackles accompanied by the crowing of the rooster, for experienced music lovers. Schubert just had to behave.... Kind regards. Gaby
C'est de cela que je parle !!!
Mozart est mort. Il ne reste que des poulets.
Merci, Gaby !
That's what I'm talking about!!!
Mozart is dead. Only chickens remain.
Thanks, Gaby!
What a great idea and execution, I want to reach out and grab this levitating shish kebab skewer and look into the books - judging by the serious camera, the feast was left by creative people:)
Igor, you have composed a wonderful post-fest.
Thanks guys!!!
It's very interesting and very weird when people your age pay attention to my work. It bothers me a lot. After all, I work for old people because I am an old person myself. I can't formulate the thought properly.
That's how it must be:- it inspires hope!)))))) Your immediate response gives it to me.
It means I'm still alive in places.
superbe ! éblouissant de clarté j' aime beaucoup vos toiles
Bonjour, très belle toile. Douce et énergique en même temps.. J aime beaucoup. Amicalement Valérie
Hello, very beautiful canvas. Sweet and energetic at the same time.. I really like it. Kind regards, Valérie
Je suis heureux que vous l'ayez apprécié. C'était mon objectif. Je vous remercie de votre compréhension.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was my goal. Thank you for your understanding.
Un bélier qui ne manque pas de charme ni d'argument, sans doute le magnifique roi du troupeau. Bravo Igor. Belle semaine à toi. Bien amicalement. Gaby
Merci Gaby !!!
Et tu connais une chose ou deux sur la peinture.))))))
Comme toujours.
It's very sad for me. I never meant to hurt anyone. Not even as a memory.
This is more of a political manifesto of a Russian artist who hasn't lived in his homeland for a long time. But who cares about his country.
I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Ungeschriebene Musik? Für mich ist der Raum voller Musik, gefüllt mit Licht, Liebe, Klängen, Melancholie; das Glück einer gefundenen Melodie, das Ringen, Kämpfen und verzweifelt Sein. Gefüllt von Leben, das vergangen ist, das auch nicht wieder kommen muss. Es war, es war intensiv, es war voll. Es war gut.
Ein wundervolles Bild, das eine ganz besondere Stimmung transportiert, welche Geschichten erzählt. Ich mag das sehr.
Unwritten music? For me, the room is full of music, filled with light, love, sounds, melancholy; the happiness of a found melody, the struggle, fighting and despair. Filled with life that has passed, that doesn't have to come back. It was, it was intense, it was full. It was good.
A wonderful picture that conveys a very special mood, that tells stories. I like it a lot.
Das ist eine sehr interessante Interpretation. Sie gefällt mir. Es ist wunderbar, dass Sie mein Bild auf diese Weise lesen.
That's a very interesting interpretation. I like it. It's wonderful that you read my picture that way.
Me gusta por qué se me afiguro la chica del cuadro a mi hermana 💖

Es wird gefeiert, die Musik ist hörbar, das Lachen, die Männer in dicken Wintermänteln, die Frauen, die auf ihrem Schoss sitzen. Der Wein fließt und der Moment wird gelebt. Egal, was morgen ist. Das ist Lebenskunst, die du in diesem außergwöhnlich stimmungsvollem Werk festgehalten hast Igor. Man sieht eine ganze - tragische - Geschichte darin, nein mehrere Geschichten und ist fasziniert davon.
Es ist so schön, wenn die Beschreibung eines Gemäldes von einem Betrachter geschrieben wird. Und es ist auch interessant, mein Verständnis mit deinem zu vergleichen. In einigen Punkten stimmen wir definitiv überein).
Danke, dass Sie darüber nachgedacht haben.
Das ist sehr wichtig für mich.
Voilà une table qui porte les restes et les relents d'un réveillon qui a mal fini.... En quel état sont les fêtards ??? Enterrons 2023 et formons de meilleurs voeux pour 2024 en espérant que ça puisse se faire... Bravo l'Artiste, c'est du "grand Schulman". Art'istiquement. Gaby
Merci mon vieux !!!!
Cela ne peut arriver que dans un seul pays au monde. Vous pouvez continuer à fantasmer de votre côté :)
Bonne année à vous aussi ! Ce sera un miracle si je survis à cette année.
Igor.
Comme j aime ce tableau !!!! Si on pouvait suspendre le temps parfois. Mille mercis pour cette oeuvre en dehors de la réalité.
How I love this painting!!!! If we could stop time sometimes. Many thanks for this work outside of reality.
Merci pour votre profonde compréhension du travail. On ne saurait trop insister sur ce point.
Bonne année !
Egal welches Motiv, deine Werke sind nicht nur aussergewöhnlich, sondern für mich grandios. Einfach super!
Vielen Dank!!! Es wärmt mich, wenn jemand diese Worte zu mir sagt. Ich wünschte, Sie wären ein Kunde. )))).
Magnifique dessin et pose du modèle dont les masses sont rendues vivantes avec un piceau émergique. Sobriété et beauté, chapeau !
Merci beaucoup. Il est rare de rencontrer quelqu'un qui comprenne l'art aussi profondément. ou êtes-vous un professionnel de l'art).

Juste un grand Merci pour cette belle réalisation ☺️ Belle soirée de lune 🌝💓🙏🏼👋🏼😉
Merci de votre compréhension, cela me touche beaucoup.
Спасибо!!! Это очень приятно, тем более от коллеги.
Merci Schulman pour le message qui accompagne cette image et bravo pour cette belle complicité, deux jeunes qui s'aiment sans fausse pudeur, un amour simple et sain. Bravo pour la qualité de cette oeuvre. Amicalement. Gaby
Ce n'est qu'un souvenir. De beaux souvenirs, cependant.
Ces derniers temps, je suis plus attiré par les natures mortes. Il faut me comprendre.)))))))
Hallo Igor,Shulman,
Sie überraschen mich immer wieder mit ihren ausdrucksstarken Werken. Egal welches Thema, die neue und besondere Sichtweise in einem bewunderswertem Malstil. Danke, für die Bereicherung.
Hi Rudiger!!! Ich danke Ihnen!!! Für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit, für Ihr Verständnis, für Ihre Gefühle. Ich bereite eine ganze Serie von neuen Stillleben vor. Die Reaktion des Publikums hat mir gefallen. Es wird eine neue Ausstellung sein. Halten Sie Ausschau nach neuen Werken. Alles Gute, Igor.
Но, у меня примерно также. Так уж человек устроен, что он всю жизнь учится. Прекратить учиться, значит остановиться. Приятно это узнать, это похвально для Мастера Вашего уровня.
Очень приятно, а я учусь у Вас.
Ни в коем случае!!!!! )))Я сам с удовольствием учусь пока. Везде, где только можно.
