A few words about his life
The biography of the artist Kuznetsov began in the city of Stavropol, which is located in the North of the Caucasus. This is a beautiful and very picturesque place in Russia. And also the city itself has a very interesting history of its foundation and further development.
Most likely, the place of birth also played a big role in the development of Yevgeny Kuznetsov as an artist! After all, they say that everything that surrounds a person from infancy — people, nature, and the atmosphere of the locality in which a person lives and develops — all this then has a tremendous influence on the formation of his personality, the development of his personality, on his creation.

Already many see him as an outstanding artist of our time! His phenomenal talent in the ability to convey the depth of genuine feelings, the beauty of human nature and the nature of the environment in his paintings is unparalleled! Kuznetsov has his own unique style and genre. He has his own deepest philosophy of vision of life, and this is reflected in his works.
From the paintings it blows with romanticism and magic ...
If you look closely at the paintings of an outstanding artist, you can note his original technique, amazing composition and some unearthly beauty.
Sometimes it seems that a complete abstraction is depicted, but with Yevgeny Kuznetsov it is very organically and naturally combined with real images, which ultimately shows a single integral composition that has its own completeness! And from her it blows with romanticism and magic ...
The artist claims that the concept of his paintings appears spontaneously: something abstract and completely incomprehensible suddenly combines in the head into a single integral picture in which the storyline is visible, and as a result, a real masterpiece appears on the canvas!
For example, as Kuznetsov himself, an artist, says about the painting “Roads of Shepherds” in an interview, this painting began with writing an evening field. And then a shepherd somehow appeared on this field by itself ... People who saw this work of Yevgeny Kuznetsov claim that they hear the sounds of a shepherd's flute.
And so with many of his works ...
The artist is boldly experimenting, and he always has his own point of view on depicting only what he himself wants to portray, what his soul feels at a particular moment, but not what others expect from him. And that's great!
Flowers in the painting of Kuznetsov
The artist is very fond of depicting nature, namely flowers, in his works. They are for him - the personification of true perfection and the greatest beauty of the world! Kuznetsov claims the same about women. But more on that later.
Most of all he likes to draw roses and lilies. The first ones obtained on his canvases are incredibly plastic and vibrant, bright and at the same time very tender, I even want to touch them in order to feel their finest aroma.
Lilies of the artist Kuznetsov are most often white. It means crystal clear. They are also very beautiful and at the same time incredibly modest in their whiteness and unpretentiousness.
Theme of the couple in the paintings of Kuznetsov
But the most truly enchanting plot in the works of Yevgeny Kuznetsov is the theme of man and woman. Each of his work is the peak of perfection and beauty of genuine feelings that can only be between a Woman and a Man!
And what are the deep and at the same time simple, like the world, these names of his paintings:
- “Touching melody”;
- "Step";
- "Trill";
- "Flowers and herbs";
- "Morning Stars";
- "Ray";
- "Good Gardener";
- "Window" and others.
All this can not be called otherwise, just real romanticism in the painting of Yevgeny Kuznetsov.
The theme of a woman for Yevgeny Kuznetsov is special and reverent. He with the greatest reverence, tenderness and respect for his beloved wife and muse! And therefore, each heroine of his paintings was painted with special care and endowed with magical lightness, softness, almost ephemerality, but they are all deeply loved and respected by the artist, because their images were taken from his beloved wife. Although the artist himself claims that he is trying to maintain a middle ground here.
How does the artist himself live?
Evgeni Kuznetsov travels a lot around the world. Besides the fact that his exhibitions are almost regularly held in different countries, he can also simply go to some exotic or simply interesting country for inspiration, so to speak. This is necessary for him, according to the artist himself, so that his horizons become wider and more fully visible to the picture of the world, which then, of course, has its reflection on his canvases.
And Kuznetsov, in addition to painting and traveling, is a very big fan of music and even knows how to play musical instruments. In his home collection there are some of them.
But the true reflection of his inner world is the paintings of the artist Kuznetsov! They, like nothing else, reflect his whole deep essence as a man and creator, his attitude to life and to people, to human being as a whole!
