Colorful abstraction - 157 (2020) Painting by Shamanov Vadim

Vadim Shamanov is a professional artist with over 20 years of painting experience who lives and works in Moncton, NB, Canada. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in Europe.

Interest in fine arts, music and photography originated in childhood. Received a musical and painting education. But it was painting that became the main way of his self-expression and self-realization. The main sources of his inspiration are the music and art of great artists such as Richter, Kandinsky, Pollock. 

As a way of self-expression, Vadim Shamanov chose abstract painting, which allows the author to convey his creative ideas through the colour and texture of oil paint. His abstract works are distinguished by layering, complex composition, as well as a desire for volume and depth. With the help of a subtle three-dimensional effect in his paintings, he establishes contact with his viewer. In his constant search for new means of expression, he often experiments with materials and surfaces using steel or OSB boards.

The artist successfully sells his paintings in renowned art galleries and exhibitions. His works are in private collections in Europe, the USA, Japan.
