Snow in April
#2
Magomed Zakriev painted Snow in April in 2010. He created a sketch in the mountains of Ingushetia. The master depicted the snow-covered foothills in the foreground. We can see a lonely semi-derelict tower there with trees in spring pink on the right. The light haze enveloping the mountain peaks merges with the sky.

The artist saw this landscape on an early morning in April. The trees already blossomed with the first flowers, and snow fell suddenly. Zakriev decided to depict this state of nature before the snow melted. He managed to convey the morning atmosphere in the mountains and his own impression of the contrast of spring blossoming and the cold snow.

The picture’s style and artistic manner are very similar to impressionism. The Impressionists tried to catch the impression of nature at a particular moment of the day. The artists painted works in the open air and took into account how lighting and air change the objects’ own colors. Their paintings are rich in colored shadows and reflections. They mixed paints right on the canvas and left colorful relief brush strokes that are clearly visible to the eye.

Magomed Zakriev dreamed of becoming an artist from childhood. While still in secondary school he was one of the main designers. At the age of 12, he entered Children’s Art School No. 1 in the city of Grozny. It was the school that laid the foundation for his attitude to art, according Magomed Zakriev. He realised early on that art was hard work, and it was essential to constantly improve his skills. Magomed Zakriev graduated from the Vladikavkaz Art School in 1991 and subsequently worked at Children’s Art School No. 1. He graduated from the Art and Graphics Department of the Chechnya State Teacher Training Institute in 2001.

The landscape has become the genre that reflects the poetic inner world of the artist. Magomed Zakriev often depicts the nature of his native land in his paintings: he paints the silvery mountains, the cliffs and the Argun River. The specialists of the National Museum of the Republic of Chechnya noted that ‘his works ooze kindness; the master’s palette is bright and cheerful.’

Magomed Zakriev is one of the most famous artists of the Republic of Chechnya nowadays. His works are found in various museums, as well as in private collections in France, Germany, Hungary and Russia.
