Rossano, 2018
Dmitry Egupov's 2018 painting is a splendid example of an impressionistic approach to depicting architecture. At the center of the composition is an ancient church with a distinctive dome and elegant facade that seems to absorb the sunlight playing across its surface. Egupov masterfully conveys the texture and warmth of the Mediterranean landscape through soft brushstrokes and muted tones. The pastel colors of the sky and buildings create a sense of calm and timelessness, as if time has stopped. The artist uses light and shadow to emphasize depth and volume, focusing on architectural details. This work captivates not only with its painterly technique but also with the emotional richness it evokes in the viewer, reminiscent of the serenity and beauty of historic sites.
Dmitry Yegupov
Dmitry Yegupov was born and received his initial art education in Krasnodar. He continued at the Leningrad Art School named after B. V. Ioganson and graduated from the Academy of Arts (Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I. E. Repin). His creative interests encompass the full range of genres — portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and historical paintings. Portraiture occupies a significant place in his work, as does landscape. His professionalism is reflected in his ability to organize the complex space of a still life, where color and composition create a rich picture. His graphic works demonstrate his skill with particular clarity, featuring the lightness and confidence of a master's style across all subjects — landscape, townscape, and the nude.
