This is a landscape in the north of France done by Iskan.

I think it's a mistake to render the landscape static. In a landscape, the main thing is the interplay and movement of color and light, the dynamic balance of color masses. The landscape should be lively and expressive! Another mistake, I believe, is the naive belief that building space in a landscape requires a classical perspective. The conventional pictorial conventional perspective does not reveal, but collapses the space, suffocates it.

Look how Van Gogh painted landscapes: he did not apply a purely classical perspective. In general, he perceived the landscape correctly. He, therefore, used not the line but color as the main transmitter of the idea of space. And look for Cézanne to see what an artist can do with the landscape perspective!

An original landscape photographic image usually contains more unnecessary details than a portrait or still life, and it is almost impossible to remove them. That is why, in my case, my method of abstraction is perfectly applicable to the landscape by highlighting the main and excluding the secondary. My method makes it possible for the artist to speak out more clearly and convey to the viewer what he wants to say with his painting.
I do not set a goal to achieve similarity; I tackle other goals. Let the similarity be readily offered by a cellphone camera! Yet painting a correct landscape with paints on canvas is easier than photographing it correctly because the artist can see and transmit exactly what is needed, while a camera does not see what is required; instead, it shows the unnecessary.

I interpret landscapes with artistic impudence while remaining within the framework of elegance and smooth painting in order to convey the very essence of the interpreted landscape. It is believed that everything French is graceful, and so is this landscape. In fact, I made it more elegant and more expressive!

I am Iskan Ilyazov, artistic alias Iskan. I was born in 1956 and brought up in Tiraspol, Moldova; I lived in Bucharest, Romania; currently I live in Moscow, Russia. 

I paint bright and emotional geometric abstractions on canvas that capture and inspire the viewer. Filled with positive energy, my paintings bring harmony, joy, happiness and kindness.

I'm doing everything my own way. My pictures make themselves – from a kind of inexplicable faith in their own star

I generalize and then hone the image, making it expressive. The rest doesn’t interest me. I remove the litter from a figurative representation, I throw out the noise and the background. You can say I boil it down to crystal, touching it up to achieve balance and harmony. In the end, only color and form are left. When I paint an abstraction, I generalize the figurative almost until the image disappears; when it becomes symbolic and bright, when a lot of content has been compressed into it – then it is ready to be transposed to canvas. Then I have to think about nothing except the painterly technique, and even to that I pay little conscious attention, only controlling the quality of what’s coming from under the brush. It all comes from inside. It all happens in my subconscious.

My paintings are part of public and museum collections in Minsk, Moscow, Nuremberg, and Florence; and private collections in Windsor and London; Berlin and Cologne; Minsk and Monaco; Moscow and St. Petersburg; Hollywood and Las Vegas; Cannes, Nice, and Paris.

I am a specialist in Soviet non-conformist art and own a relevant collection. As a scholar and researcher, I focus on the theory and practical studies of color forms in contemporary painting.

My list includes over 100 exhibitions in Berlin, Venice, Cannes, Milan, Minsk, Moscow, Nice, Nuremberg, Paris, Rome, St. Petersburg, and Florence, with over 80 group exhibitions and 20 solo shows.

I am Honored Arts Personality of Russia, academician of two arts academies, professor of visual arts. From 2021 to 2024 I was awarded 18 medals at international creative contests and I won a Grand Prix for graphic art in 2024.
