Pastel allows you to feel the shape with your hands, to mold the volume on the plane, to convey the emotional state of a woman. I like to depict the body in pastel. This material gives a wide range from a sketchy, expressive manner to photorealistic and the ability to vary them depending on the task.

Drawing on A3 paper, pastel (sepia) - one, two lines conveying the pose, turn, hand position. These drawings, made in 5-10 minutes, allow me to "fix" the moment, "freeze" it on the sheet, to emphasize the beauty of the moment.
I love to draw the lines of the curves of the body. I am inspired by the plasticity and form of the living body, and at the same time I am looking for inner harmony. I put emotions, admiration of beauty in my picture and broadcast it to the viewer: eyes, faces, bodies, their life, movement, stillness and peace.
Such a graphic will perfectly complement the interior - gently and harmoniously. Not dominating, but bringing elegance and beauty to both modern and classic spaces.

Biography
Konstantin Fomin is a Moscow-based graphic artist, architect, member of the Union of Moscow Architects, member of the Union of Russian Artists. He received his art education at the School of Art in Balakovo. Architectural education in Moscow, took a course in book illustration with Tatiana Nikitina, associate professor of illustration at Moscow State University of Printing Arts. Konstantin lives and works in Moscow. He has more than 20 years of architectural practice, participated in major architectural projects and worked with leading museums. But a special place in his life has always been drawing.
Konstantin Fomin - a talented Russian artist, whose works have been presented at national exhibitions in Italy and in the U.S., winner and winner of art and architectural competitions. His paintings are in many private collections in Russia and abroad.
The artist's work is built on the admiration of female and male images - from portraits to drawings of nudity. Playing with line, form and color, he tries to convey the characteristic sensuality and subtle artistic aesthetic of human nature.
Most often he paints in pastel on primed canvas or charcoal on paper in an expressive authorial manner, reflecting his personal vivid emotionality. Fomin sees beauty and creates it in his works with precise, lively line, shimmering stain, emotional color and expressive textures. He uses gold and sauce in his work - an unusual national material, which has interesting properties, it can be painted as a bed and as a watercolor, with a brush and water. It is a classic academic material, a favorite at the Academy of Fine Arts. Konstantin Fomin creates etchings.
"The theme of my work is life and myths, people, all together...I depict mostly people - women and men, often naked, in their natural state. I believe that any body is beautiful, has unique features and its own individual aesthetic. I create portraits, going deeper and studying the personality of the model, I try to express the characteristic external and internal, personal features, to reveal the beauty that I see in each person. In my work I try to convey the eternal beauty of classical and contemporary methods in the graphics. I think about the artistic understanding of the characters and states, emotionally expressed through the body.Sources of inspiration for me are everywhere! I observe the world, the events, what's going on around me. I read books and identify certain patterns, looking for stories that inspire me. I record it, my thoughts, reflections in a personal diary and use it all in my work. I love poetry, literature and history - it's an endless source of inspiration!I wish that a person who looks at my work would have a ringing silence inside... Silence is where we all come from...".

Я часть замечательной компании замечатель 
Подпись к изображению художников! Специально для этого проекта я сделал три работы. Тема глубокая и очень увлекательная!
«Открытый клуб» представляет собой групповую выставку «Маленькие трагедии», в которой приняли участие семьдесят художников. Многие авторы рассматривают произведения специально для выставки. Цикл «Маленькие трагедии», написанный Александром Пушкиным, состоит из четырех пьес: «Скупой рыцарь», «Моцарт и Сальери», «Каменный гость» и «Пир в чуме». Александр Сергеевич написал эти произведения в 1830 году во время холерного карантина в Болдине. Каждая пьеса, как Юрий Лотман, имеет важное значение для европейского Просвещения гуманистической темы, непримиримого отношения к вражде и престижу, ведущей к футболу. Ему противопоставляется «своя мораль», где нет виновных, моральных оснований (как, например, у Барона, у которого патологическая жадность есть принцип, а нефизиологическая страсть), право на условное отклонение. В экспозицию вошли как иллюстрации к пьесам Пушкина, так и размышления на темы страстей, о которых говорит поэт. Эмоциональным откровениям моментов страсти, выраженным в искаженных фигурах, чувственных красках и золотом блеске монет, отключенных сдержанных размышлений философского наблюдателя, изучающего человеческую природу: в аллегорическом натюрморте vanitas, в серии фигур "Потаенный" или "По следам полководца", например. к пушкинскому циклу, собранная в Открытом клубе, богата известными именами и необычными интерпретациями. в аллегорическом натюрморте vanitas, в серии фигур "Потаенный" или "По следам полководца", например. к пушкинскому циклу, собранная в Открытом клубе, богата известными именами и необычными интерпретациями. в аллегорическом натюрморте vanitas, в серии фигур "Потаенный" или "По следам полководца", например. к пушкинскому циклу, собранная в Открытом клубе, богата известными именами и необычными интерпретациями.

Reviews and comments
very sensual and tender! Beautiful
Благодарю, Анжелика!))
Thank you When creating it, I completely immersed myself in the atmosphere of the work of Pushkin A.S.!
Спасибо! Во время создания этой работы пережил полное погружение в поэзию).
An invisible puppet master? It's somewhat eery, yet I can't take my eyes off it.
I once heard someone putting Pushkin on the sate level as Shakespeare. Since I studied Pushkin at school as part of the class programme, I always took him for granted, I suppose. His legacy cannot be overestimated, indeed.
This artwork is theatrical and grotesque as well, I think it reflects "The Little Tragedies" well.
Thank you for the thoughtful review! I wanted to convey the horror of the moment! Pushkin A.S.'s work has inspired me in many works among my art!
Une oeuvre qui parle, nous parle .
I enjoy this indigo mood......!
Many thanks for your feedback, Konstantin! To be honest, for me this is an absolutely passing exhibition ;)
Dear friends, I am taking part in ArtRussiaFair 2020 at Gostiny Dvor as a resident of Art-Office Gallery FEDINI Everyone is welcome to visit this event! Come to Gostiny Dvor, Ilyinka 4, from February 20 till February 23, stand C-9.
We will be glad to see you.
At the booth my series "Red wheel" and golden miniatures are presented.
The Art-Office Gallery FEDINI's participation in ArtRussiaFair 2020 is about the innermost things. About that which so beckons and sometimes frightens us all - about MEETING HIMSELF and FINDING HIMSELF in OTHERS. Real, naked, with our masks torn away, that we put on to win a better position in the game called "society. Real and vulnerable.
Our time - the hustle and bustle of big cities, high speeds, the replacement of values and concepts with ideas of soulless materialism and the creation of a technogenic world.
The #GalleryFEDINI project presented at the #ArtRussiaFair by Art-Office is a space outside the bustle, where you turn to yourself. The works of artists are not only of artistic interest, but also translate the living states inherent in the human psyche, picking up the keys to the touching, private territory of each of us.
We need our inner abode - to catch our breath, to calm our frantic mind, to look at ourselves and the #world around us through the prism of a deeper awareness, to try to put everything in its place, to get to know ourselves once again. Such an encounter requires a fair amount of courage. Looking in, some run away from themselves, not daring to be honest, some find there an incredible wealth and discover their talents - #creativity, love and care, science or achievements of their own bodies.
The exhibit awakens to the question of the human presence "here and now." #Man is a complex reflective creature, who is concerned about his inner multifaceted world and needs such simple things as understanding, love and acceptance of him as he is.
The created concept of the exposition is closely intertwined with the mission of Art-Office "Gallery FEDINI". There is a lot of freedom, air and an atmosphere of spiritual comfort, and the works are imbued with love for all living things in the universe.
Nice art with light.......! The light caress this body !
