Art critic's comment
Paintings by Nikolai Korznyakov are filled
with love for the Ural nature. The artist is fascinated by nature, but his
approach in depicting it does not consist in scrupulous painting of details. His
main objective is rather to understand and convey the diversity of the states
of nature in his pieces. The artist masterly catches the general impression of
landscape and paints it with the most natural colours and gradations of tones. By
generalising the interpretations of landscapes, the artist invites the viewer
to discover the new beauty in the familiar views of Kyn, Verkhoturye and other
picturesque places. The lightness of the artist's manner creates natural
perception. It seems that the fields, meadows and forests, depicted by the
artist, breath with freshness and evoke emotions, which are similar to those felt
after a short hike or walk through beautiful countryside. The cozy interiors of
village houses with picturesque views from the windows invite viewers to touch
the idyllic life of Korznyakov creative family.
