Stil life with grapes, 2005
Dmitry Egupov’s 2005 painting is a magnificent example of realistic art that explores the classic theme of still life. The work showcases exceptional skill in rendering textures and details: the gleam of the glass tumblers, the juicy clusters of grapes, and the velvety peaches. The background, rendered in warm golden tones, adds a sense of coziness and sophistication, enriching the image. Egupov expertly captures the play of light and shadow, creating an illusion of three-dimensionality and depth. The composition of the painting is balanced, with each element placed thoughtfully to draw the viewer’s attention to all the details.
Dmitry Yegupov

Ioganson and graduated from the Academy of Arts (Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I. E. Repin).

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.
