"Seizing Inspiration: The Noble Gaze of Solzhenitsyn", acrylic on wooden panel, Bishop Maxim, 2024
This painter does not belong to the greatest painters of the ages, but he is a painter who occasionally produces works of rare artistic wisdom. What did he immortalize in this painting? Solzhenitsyn’s body is turned to the left and appears almost golden, thus rendering his poor flesh as something precious. His face is turned slightly to the side, and his gaze reaches backward, trying to capture a fleeting inspiration before it escapes him. He knows well that inspiration only passes in front of us once. Seize the moment! He has also succeeded in capturing the ineffable nobility that anoints the venerable face of the writer, who hailed from the great family of noble writers through the ages.
