The Beauty of Art: 'London' by Russian painter Gleb Goloubetski

Would like to share with you today this beautiful artwork from the very talented Russian painter / impressionist Gleb Goloubetski. It's called 'London'. What an interesting techniques and delightful coloruse he is using here. Earlier I wrote more blogs about ART, SEE HERE

More about the artist

Born in Omsk in the former Soviet Union in 1975, Gleb Goloubetski displayed noticeable artistic talent as a child under the tutelage of his father who was also a successful painter.

Gleb's formal training came from his studies at the highly acclaimed academy in St Petersburg where his work attracted much attention. Gleb's inspiration comes primarily from the aged architecture and geography of Europe. He travels extensively in the United Kingdom, the Mediterranean, the Far East and Maui looking for images to paint. When he finds a view that inspires him, Gleb will sit and absorb it for some time, paying particular attention to how the natural light conditions of the day influence his perspective and moreover his emotional response.

The artist, Gleb Goloubetski

Returning to his main studio in St Petersburg, Gleb will sit and consider his reference material. Reminding himself of scale, he then begins to paint. It is Gleb's emotional response to the subject that he conveys to the canvas, in oil, with only his palette knife.
