Actually, everything that is connected with the artistās life is mysteriously. Wikipedia talks about it only in English or Spanish. No interviews in newspapers or magazines. Apparently, Konstantin Razumov leads a closed life. He puts up for sale his paintings, not himself.
Brief information about the artist
The date of birth is disagreeable. Someone indicates the year 1961, someone suggests 1974. Thirteen years of difference is a very wide spread. It seems to us that Konstantin Razumov was born in 1974 and that now, in 2016, he is just over forty. Just look at his work and see the look of a fairly young man on them. The same can be judged by looking at his only portrait.
On it, he looks youthful - Konstantin Razumov, an artist. The photo presents us with a painter, not in a ceremonial, but in a casual form - in a cowboy. The background is airy delicate fabrics and jewelry that he uses in his work.
Konstantin Razumov, artist: biography
K. Razumov was born in the city of Zarinsk in Altai. Back in 1979, it was just a settlement village with a population of less than twenty thousand people. So, the artistās small homeland was literally small, but I wanted, like any creative person, to study, communicate with peers. This was partially given by the New Altai Art College, and then the novice artist, who felt great potential in himself, went to the capital. Konstantin Razumov studied in 1994-2001 with Ilya Glazunov, and then embarked on free swimming, which turned out to be very successful. He puts his work at international auctions and in material terms is quite successful.
The genre in which the artist works
Portraits of women and children, well, maybe even animals - this is the favorite subject of such a painter as Konstantin Razumov. The artist chose her for a reason. In all ages, beautiful women have attracted the attention of creators. And, by the way, buyers. Not everyone can afford to buy a masterpiece of Winterhalter or Renoir, and Razumov's work, filled with poetry, is available to those who sincerely love light and air, clean and exciting female images, sometimes alluring, sometimes mysteriously detached, but always full of inexplicable charms.
The painterās children are also not up-to-date, like his young women, it is difficult to imagine them at the computer or at the TV. Talking with a book or playing with a cat or dog is suitable for them. At the same time, the artist chooses an exquisite hunting dog, who knows how to calmly follow his mistress.
Modern painting
Long ago, back in the 19th century, people stopped relying completely on the opinions of critics and art historians about what is good and bad in painting. There are many examples from the past, but we recall only one picture of A. Cabanel's āThe Birth of Venusā. This is not a masterpiece, but the Emperor of France Napoleon III liked it so much that he immediately replenished it with his collection. And he didn't care what the critics wrote. So a modern person is guided by his own taste, and not by the alleged genius of a work of art.
Only time will tell what the canvas is, but for now we just admire the images created by Konstantin Razumov. The artist chose for himself a very specific type of modern face: huge eyes, a slightly
snub-nosed nose, large, beautiful sculptures, lips. These features are repeated from work to work, it seems that he has one model, but it does not bother. And if you place one of the female or children's portraits, then it will fit into any modern interior, especially the classic one. And although the appearance of young women is quite consistent with the canons adopted on the catwalks, their peace of mind is far from our everyday reality.
Eternal Femininity
It blooms on the canvases of the painter. His palette is diverse. He does not like dark tones, his work is light and gentle. They sing compliments to that beautiful, slightly mysterious girl that he portrays. And she, beautiful in herself, becomes even better, revealing herself under the painter's loving gaze. It is immediately clear that Konstantin Razumov loves his models. Delicate pastel colors perfectly convey the sophistication of his portraits.
Sometimes, to create a different mood, he takes brighter colors: red, yellow, black. But the black color on his canvases is translucent, airy, he plays in different shades. As a rule, they depict feathers on hats or transparent stockings, which so emphasize the whole grace of the legs. Even black dresses on his canvases do not have a deaf, mourning, closed look. They, created from transparent fabric, slightly envelop a delicate body, giving airiness to the image.
Artist Style
In the workshop of Glazunov, Konstantin Razumov received the skills of classical drawing. He writes a very realistic figure of a woman, but surrounds her with a light-air environment, akin to the one used by the impressionists. And it turns out quite a modern work that meets the spirit of the times.
Konstantin Razumov, artist: paintings
The woman in the paintings is always depicted alone at a cafe table. Most often it seems that this is happening in Paris. She is never accompanied by a companion. She just hasn't found him yet. To such a beauty you canāt just get hooked and start a vulgar conversation about the weather.
She needs to read poetry, with her you can discuss the latest fashion show or bestseller. She should send fresh bouquets every day, and she will thoughtfully arrange them in vases and read the attached business card. The young woman on the canvas is so airy that it seems that a gust of wind can carry her away. She almost always sits on the edge of a chair or chair: another moment - and she will no longer be here.
This is a sweet vision from your dream that the painterās brush materialized.
