"There are never too many women" - this is the name of the exposition of the works of a modern Russian painter Mstislav Pavlova … The artist paints extremely expressive portraits of women, the stunning effect of which lies in the pasty oil technique that the artist uses when writing his creations.
It cannot be said that this technique is a find of the author, since Nikolai Feshin, the famous Russian-American artist of the first half of the twentieth century, first invented such techniques. It provides, firstly, a bright colorful palette and, secondly, a combination of volumetric textured strokes along with smooth painting. So, textured dresses, in which women are dressed, seem to envelop their velvet smooth skin. The body strokes with a palette knife look very impressive.
And the female images themselves on the artist's canvases are devoid of concreteness, they are generalized. Sometimes they are perceived as a hint, like a vision or a dream, and sometimes they are real and pronounced, bewitching and alluring.
The artist relies on color in his works. A bright palette of colors used in a pasty manner gives an unusual sound to the picture plane and the depicted objects, namely relief and light volume. Sometimes it seems that a colorful rain has passed and multi-colored droplets, mixed with each other, froze on the canvas.
