Art critic's comment
Female images are painted by Stanislav Krupp in all their grace and beauty. The artist aims revealing the versatility of female characters and turns to literature, legends and novels in his search for inspiration. For his paintings Stanislav Krupp studies history, fairy tales, and learns about various folklore characters. The artist is highly inspired by Art Nouveau and Symbolism, as well as by the pieces produced by medieval and Renaissance masters.
The style and aesthetics of the paintings by Stanislav Krupp would rather suggest that their author is a painter with European background and is not from a small Russian town of Kamensk-Uralsky. Viewers get this impression due to to the erudition of the artist and his deep knowledge of European history and artistic tradition. Indeed, Stanislav Krupp demonstrates a deep understanding of European aesthetic values. The artist has devoted ample attention to studying the style and artistic techniques of the brightest representatives of various artistic movements, which have originated in European art of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Female images plays the key role in the artist's creative world, along with the active use of colour and expressive compositions. Women in the paintings of Stanislav Krupp are often portrayed as the personifications of nature, personages of legends or fairy tales.
