Art Brokerage: The Artist Alexei Velikjanin was born in 1958 in the city of Vetluga of the Nizhni Novgorod Region of the Russian Federation. Velikjanin finished the Republican Art College of I.E. Repin (city if Kishinev) in 1985. He graduated from the Belarusian Academy of Arts (city of Minsk) in 1992. Velikjanin works in the field of easel painting and monumental art. Since 2003 he has lectured in the Belarusian State Academy of Arts where he is a docent of chair of picture of artistic department. Velikjanin's work shows soft, streaming light… It steams upon the uneven surface of the hasteless world; the world of his paintings. Without any bustle, without blinding despair, exquisitely and gently. It dances on the objects, on fanciful bends of the form, melting in halftones, giving mystery and charm to ordinary things. Under its charming power books, cigars, flowers, vases with fruit and other patterns of his themes lose their prosiness but fill with some sacral meaning, novelty and fresh sounding. It is the main watcher and contemplator in this illusory world of colors, in the world where impulsivity of strokes and exactness of color correlation merge together in harmony artistic breadth.
