Nikita Rostislavovich Duhno is a painter, graphic artist, illustrator, and designer.
He was born March 26, 1955 in Leningrad. Nikita Rostislavovich graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Textile and Light Industry named after S.M. Kirov and the Moscow Polygraphic Institute.
Duhno has been the member of the Union of Artists of Russia since 1993. He won the Silver Medal of the Russian Academy of Arts for participating in the traveling academic exhibition “North-West”, and the Silver Medal “Spirituality, Traditions, Mastery” of the Union of Artists of Russia in 2015.
Since 1992, he has been working in advertising and graphic design. The artist’s design works include the trademarks of the Murmansk Regional Art Museum, the Regional Center for Artistic Crafts, the Lapland Biosphere Reserve, the Murmansk Regional Council of Trade Unions, the Murmansk Regional Philharmonic Society, the “Radost” and “Spolohi” dance ensembles, the Kirov House of Culture, the “Ledokol” club, and the company “ArtikOil”.
Nikita Dukhno belongs to the artists who think figuratively and metaphorically. His works attract and fascinate with the masterful depiction of texture, the extensive range of colors, the space filled with light, and the mysterious incompleteness of the plots.
The emotional memory of the artist contained the impressions that he had received in Sevastopol as a child. That experience led to the perfect understanding of the sea, the steppe, and the southern city. Leningrad, where Nikita Dukhno was born and lived for five years while studying at the institute, had a huge impact on his development.
The expressiveness in the artist’s work prevails over the plot; the painter is good at creating a convincing image with scarce, strictly selected means. Color, light and space remain the main visual components of his works. The minimalism of the composition, emotionality, expressiveness, the search for his own clue in each work mark the artist’s paintings and graphic works.
The self-portrait shows restrained colors and a generalized manner typical of the artist. The “artist of the mono-image” Dukhno avoids featuring excessive details in his paintings. He paints on the flat surface, emotionally, with much abstractness, drawing unclear, blurry outlines of characters and objects, leaving the viewers to think and decide what they have seen.
