The painter Alexander Novosyolov created the “Pines” in 2010. The Memorial Complex of Glory named after A. A. Kadyrov received the painting from the artist himself.
The picture depicts a summer landscape of the Crimean mountains. The artist chose a mostly cold color scheme with different shades of green, blue and gray. In the foreground are large rocks and boulders, and on the right side behind them, there is a narrow winding path, dotted with small pebbles.
The main part of the canvas is occupied by the dense green crowns of several pine trees. Novosyolov depicted them against the clear blue sky. Judging by the lighting, he painted the landscape shortly before sunset.
The trees have asymmetrical heads as they are thicker on the sunny side. Because of this peculiarity pines are often used to determine the sides of the world if there are no other signs. The top of the tree, which is located closest to the viewer on the canvas, looks cut off and goes beyond the canvas. The artist deliberately depicted it in such a way as to emphasize the size of the trees: they seem to be so large that they do not fit in the whole picture.
The color composition of the painting is balanced by the image of dense green grass under the trees. It contrasts with the bare rocks in the foreground.
Artist Alexander Novosyolov was born in 1980 in Leningrad. He graduated from the N.K. Roerich Art College in 2000 and a year later entered the Repin Academy of Arts. There, Novosyolov studied in the workshop of monumental painting under Professor Andrey Mylnikov, a Soviet painter and graphic artist, who created mosaic panels at Vladimirskaya and Ploshchad Lenina stations of the Leningrad metro.
Alexander Novosyolov graduated with honors from the Academy of Arts in 2007. His graduation work was praised by the State Attestation Commission and is now in the Research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts. The painter himself teaches at the Academy of Realistic Art in Stockholm. His works are in private collections in Russia, the United States, Monaco, Finland, France and Sweden.
