Courage of the Choice

Vladimir Volosov is an artist of uncommon fate. A well-known and mature scientist, he left science for the sake of painting, and with amazing persistence, with ardent love to the new trade began to paint pictures. He painted and he paints with a rare spontaneity, with joy of a person discovering the beauty of nature, its eternal secrets, riddles of light, space, fogs, reflexes, finding its new charm and attempting to express his feelings on canvas. He paints what he sees, not aspiring to separate himself from his impressions, not being fascinated by either classical schemes, or fashionable complicatedness. Hissuccess is based on a simple human desire to recognize on his canvas the familiar, beloved nature, as seen by an artist who never tires of admiring it. However, recently beneficial doubts have increasingly made their way into the thoughts of the artist, with former serenity and tranquility sometimes replaced by excited search for new expression, new individuality, for a more active dialog with the modern artistic vision. All this causes deepest respect. The newly discovered youth in this artist promises happy surprises for all his fans and admirers. Prof. Dr. Mikhail Yu. GERMAN
