This painting is special for me - started back in 2018, had been revising and keeping it in my studio close to an easel til I had to leave Russia in May 2022. Then once I finally got a place to start painting again here in Cyprus this painting was the 1st one that came to my mind. I got rid of some excessive details, put together this and that, made the whole piece more optimistic.

"Cyprus based Jewish-Armenian-Russian artist Grigorii Pavlychev was born in Siberia in 1986. He moved to St. Petersburg in 2001 and graduated from Facility of Arts of St. Petersburg State University. During this 6 educational years Grigorii Pavlychev had been practising in such art disciplines like painting, academic drawing, composition, sculpture, anatomy, print making, etc. on a day-to-day basis. In 2012 his paintings were included in Art Helsinki international biennale. He put a solo exhibition at the historic Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg on 2013-2014 season’s opening. Grigorii Pavlychev made his American debut in 2016 in Boston, participated residence for artists in Belgium and attracted more than 120 collectors throughout USA, Canada, Australia, Russia, Great Britain, Switzerland, Germany, France, Portugal, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Cyprus, etc. Six paintings of the artist are in the collection of National Bank of Bahrain. In the beginning of 2022 Grigorii Pavlychev moved to Cyprus due to his anti-war position.

Grigorii Pavlychev is a contemporary artist who mixes Expressionism and Figurative styles trying to bring his own take on both. When you first look at his paintings, you may find yourself peering out at an abstract expressionist composition or the quiet and moving form of the subject. Grigorii’s main task as an artist is to make the viewer explore both sides of this dynamics. He draws inspiration from the human body the most."
