Artist Evgeniy Monahov (Russian artist)

He was born in Moscow (1974).Graduated from the Moscow Art College and the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow (faculty of easel painting, studio under the guidance of professors M. Abakumov and V. Sidorov).Since 2002 a member of the International Federation of Artists and National Artist's Union of Russia. Monakhov's paintings excite the same feelings, as music and poetry do. Metaphors of time, history and personal emotional experience pass before spectators. Delicate colours and refined contours create beautiful musical harmony. Evgeniy Monahov is a passionate Russian painter whose works have featured in prizes, exhibitions and collections in the US, Spain, Russia and China. He sees his style as sitting at the intersection of realism and impressionism, and focuses on representing the pure beauty of small details: shadows on hair in sunlight, the glow in a person's eyes, the silvery light of morning. Monahov values the incompleteness and imperfection of impressionism; the hint of a masterpiece, the expectation of a miracle.
