Igor Bespalov: Painter-Artist

Why would any reasonable person think or don’t think about something that undoubtfully would not be accepted by the public, no matter how much you want it, or how much you desire it.

Usually when you are going home late at night you look at the lights in the windows of your home. Someone is waiting for your there. Someone with whom you are going to share your impressions, your thoughts about inspiration.

May be that’s how the light in your soul is born.

This mystery is the process of inspiration. Painter-artist goes through the life like he is riding a magnificent white horse-inspiration. That is his pride. That is his happiness. That is where he finds consolation.

I found my world and it is unreal. My world is in the flexibility of color, in shapes that I transform and improve.

The longer you live, the more you understand and appreciate the flying away moments when you have been different. When you could fly, could understand simple flatness and transform it into a shape, give it a color, and establish yourself on the horizon of great and pure art.

It is known that you can’t enter the same river twice. Therefore, all my paintings are my children that remember my tiredness and my delight. Living in the structure of city blocks, they project my love into eyes of unknown to me spectators. This is my confession and revelation.

This is an opinion of the artist that was born during the night of February 3rd 2006.

The Painter and The Canvas

Sometimes it is difficult to start working on a new canvas. It is necessary to find something that would touch the strings of creativity in your soul. It helps me, for example, to look at some natural forms of the environment, or architecture of the old city, sounds of music, memories, beauty of the women, sincere eyes and smiles of children. My canvas I create with sounds of colorful music, deliberately taking away the volume. I strive to reach flat solution by using cold and warm colors in order to achieve perspective and at the same time non-perspective principle.

The Beetles and Flowers

Once a painter Igor Bespalov had a dream: singer Phil Collins was picking pears in orchard. Igor’s orchard of course. The star worked very hard and picked a great harvest for the winter. Unfortunately, when Igor woke up he realized that was just a pleasant night illusion and went to pick pears himself. Then he took the brush in his hands.

October through December 2005 Igor had his personal exhibition “The Beetles and Flowers”. This exhibition can be viewed as a result of such night dreams. However, this time painter’s attention was glued to The Beetles band.

At the exhibition you could feel presence of these outstanding Liverpool musicians. Bright, optimistic colors that dominate on the paintings are very much in harmony with magic Beetles’ melodies.
