Mikhail Yurievich Pavlenko is a skilled landscape painter
He was born in 1956, in Tomsk region. He started painting in 1984. After moving to Mezhdurechensk he joined an amateur painting society. He entered the Decorative and Applied Arts department of the Moscow University of Art. Since 2000 he has participated in art exhibitions in many towns in the Kuzbass region, as well as in national figurative art competitions.
Between 2000 and 2005 he was the deputy director for art the Mezhdurechensk exhibition hall, taught in a fine arts studio, and led Colorit, the city’s club for painters and masters of decorative art. He also taught painting in Sunday schools run by the Diocese of Kemerovo. His works feature in the web version of 1000 Great Artists of the Last Millennium, in the Landscape category.
Viewers find themselves strongly attracted to Mikhail Pavlenko’s paintings. The Siberian plains, the narrow river valleys at the foothills of the mountains, the deep lakes, the golden forests, the woodland paths and snow- covered meadows with thaw-holes in the spring — all these natural beauties are depicted with love in his art. Only someone full of a boundless love for the natural beauty of their native region can depict it in such a sunny, radiant way.
In Autumn Road the viewer sees a picturesque landscape in Mountain Shoria. The late Indian summer has filled the scene with life, generously scattering it with vivid color - the gold, emerald green, ruby red and vermillion of its leaves and the warm September sunlight. The artist paints ‘in emotions’ — he is interested in the state of the natural world and the lyrical feeling of the last warm days before the frosts begin.
In the foreground, with hauntingly beautiful woodland on either side, we see a forest road curving away from us until it is lost from view. Running along the road, we see wheel tracks in the light brown earth, separated by a strip of green grass. To the left of the road there is a radiantly beautiful silver birch, and, on the right, a powerful ancient cedar tree, in the shade of which a young fir tree is growing. In the distance are the blue mountains The blue sky, with a few light clouds forms a backdrop to the scene.
The artist uses his palette with great skill, achieving tones of great vibrancy. The whole scene is bathed in sunlight, and full of air and space. The painting creates a profoundly poetic impression. It would be possible to gaze on it for ever.
