Artist at Work is a vibrant tribute to the diverse and inspiring world of creativity. This original acrylic painting brings together a collection of artists immersed in their own process—drawing, painting, experimenting, or quietly reflecting. Each figure is a window into a different moment of creation, from solitary concentration to the lively energy of group collaboration. The white background offers a gallery-like stillness, allowing the colorful scenes to stand out with clarity and purpose. This figurative artwork doesn’t just celebrate the finished piece, but the act of making itself—the brushes, the palettes, the gestures, and the mess. It speaks to anyone who understands the magic that happens when inspiration meets action. “Artist at Work” is more than a painting—it’s an ode to the artistic spirit, to the people who bring imagination to life, and to the beauty found in the rhythm of creation.

This artwork of art is made on canvas in a figurative style, it depicts the Impressionists, thanks to whom we got a new direction in art.

In this painting, the diagonal composition shows the viewer two angles: the lower left and the upper right. The upper right shows a group of artists working mostly in the studio on their works. In the left corner, you can see three artists with sketchbooks, painting in nature, they look like outcasts in this painting, which shows how the Impressionists were generally treated in the 19th century. The group of these three artists shows that the Impressionists were underestimated and misunderstood for their era. These artists stand outside of the group of others on the right who do not accept them. But despite this, the Impressionists were committed to their views and principles. Luckily for us, they firmly believed in what they were doing.

This painting is an attempt to convey the idea that attitudes towards Impressionism have changed over time, and now the works of the Impressionists are respected and appreciated all over the world. However, for some time, the Impressionists were alien to the more traditionally minded artists of the time, and this painting reflects this historical trend.

It was in the 19th century that the advent of industrial production technology made it possible to manufacture lead tubes for oil paints. This made it possible for the Impressionists to leave their studios and paint in the open air.

The Impressionists used new techniques such as brushstrokes and light effects, which allowed them to convey their impressions of the world around them more accurately and emotionally. This was an innovative and bold step, as previously most artists painted their pictures with an eye to the canons, reflecting a more conservative view of art.
The Impressionists were the beginnings of what we call "modernism" in art today.

Figurative Painting - I like to draw people in their habitat, this is a city, street scenes, intersections, cafes. In my watercolor paintings, I show how a person depends on the social environment and develops it.
