ARTWALKER Artist Biography

Vitali Komarov

The Russian artist Vitali Komarov creates original oil paintings from nature and life: landscapes, still lifes and portraits. Expressive, strong colours and free brushwork are common for many of Vitali Komarov's works, painted in the post-impressionist style.
Vitali is inspired by Van Gogh's idea of seeing the beauty in simple things, as are rural landscapes with meadows, fields, trees, villages and still lifes with flowers, fruits and vegetables.

He uses the technique called impasto. That means he paints by thick brush strokes, which are visually seen. The paint is piled on so much that it seems to be layered. Komarov's works often include the combination of dense vivid green, yellow, blue and orange colours. These make us think of fire or the sun.

Komarov's passion and emotion fully flows through his work. Through his artistry he expresses his feelings. This expression is the reason the style is called expressionism. He obviously exaggerates natural objects for the purpose of emphasizing the emotional mood or concept. The swirling brushstrokes of Komarov's paintings seem to live a life of their own. The art of Vitali Komarov delightes lovers of painting.

ARTIST STATEMENT
The purpose of my work is to make beautiful things. Working from nature, I am inspired by its beauty. When I paint simple things, I vitalise them and fill them with sense. Trying to exactly reproduce the light and the mood of the subject, I experiment with a composition, tone and colour. I balance composition, so that on-looker can breathe easily. I make contrast convincing, and colours fresh and pure.

Feelings and mood play an important role in my paintings, even more than the form. The technical side of art does not interest me, so I do not experiment with styles or medium. I am excited by the process of painting itself.

But technical skills together with inspiration are not enough to be a good artist, unless you do not work constantly and estimate your results soberly and strictly. It allows me to regard each new work as a serious search. Then I get the picture that is not the imitation of reality, but a new reality, created by the artist. Therefore the nature is the teacher and excellent contender in strife. Nature teaches me to see the subject and gives me the feeling of love. My idea is to fall in love.
