Watercolor painting Prophet Alexander Arkadievich Litvinov

"The Prophet" is a captivating portrait created with a blend of colored pencils and watercolors, evoking a sense of mysticism and reverence. The focal point of the painting is a prophet, gracefully positioned in the foreground, dressed in a flowing white robe that drapes down to his feet. Over his robe, he wears a woolen skin, adding an earthy texture and depth to his attire. The prophet's long and dignified beard cascades down his chest, displaying shades of gray, symbolizing wisdom and age. The prophet's head is bald, devoid of any hair, accentuating his otherworldly presence and suggesting a profound connection with the divine. With a gentle yet determined expression, his eyes seem to gaze into a realm beyond the physical world, as if he possesses an intimate understanding of the universe's secrets. In his left hand, the prophet delicately cradles a bird, a symbol of freedom and spirituality. The bird rests trustingly in his palm, representing the prophet's harmonious connection with nature and his ability to nurture and guide living beings. With his right hand, he raises the bird towards the sky, seemingly offering it to the heavens, emphasizing the prophet's transcendent power and his role as an intermediary between the mortal and the divine. The background of the painting reveals a lush forest, awash with vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes. The trees stand tall and proud, enveloping the scene in a sense of enchantment and spiritual abundance. The forest symbolizes the vastness of the prophet's wisdom and the infinite possibilities that lie within his teachings. Overall, "The Prophet" is a striking portrait that captures the essence of spirituality and profound connection with the divine. Through the skillful combination of colored pencils and watercolors, the artist has brought forth a visually captivating representation of a prophet's enlightened presence and his ability to bridge the gap between humanity and the spiritual realm.

About the artists: Alexander Arkadievich Litvinov was born on May 18, 1967 in the city of Lubny. He graduated from the Lubensk secondary school № 1. One of his favorite lessons was drawing. I was even more attracted by studies at an art school, where boys and girls were introduced to high art thanks to the wise teachers Vasily Semenyuta, Anatoly Kharchuk, Nikolai Korablev, Tamara Moshnikoviy. Especially in his artistic development, Alexander owes to Vasily Ivanovich Semenyuta, his classical school of teaching, which he enriched in his time through his acquaintance with famous artists Alexei Asaulenko and Petr Likhin. And also an extremely important role in the passion for painting was played by the fact that Alexander's father, Arkady Petrovich Litvinov, was both a talented artist and an excellent teacher. He had 53 years of teaching experience - he taught drawing and drawing at the Lubensk school №8, many of his students connected their professions with artistic creativity. Alexander's elder brother, Oleg Arkadyevich Litvinov, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, now lives in Odessa, also chose the artistic path.

And after leaving school, Alexander served in the army, where his artistic talent came in handy - in Soviet times, visual agitation was highly valued. He served in Dnepropetrovsk, where two personal exhibitions of his paintings were organized. While still at school, Alexander began to design books, in particular, children's literature. He received his first creative fee in the tenth grade from the publishing house "Raduga" for the design of the book by Anatoly Rybakov "Krosh's Vacation". Later she studied at the Odessa Theater and Art School, specializing in "Decoration of puppet shows and artistic and props art."

Studying at the school and passion from childhood with historical and biblical literature greatly influenced the creative manner of the artist. He works in the style of the so-called figurative art, where the main thing is the image of the human body.
