Mysterious stranger
I'll start with something I usually never do - a biography (very short). And then, I propose to talk about the work of the artist. Because, "there is some kind of mystery in a woman." And the young ladies of Konstantin Razumov have more than one.
Artist Konstantin Razumov was born in the city of Zarinsk in 1974, graduated from the Novoaltaisk Art School, and then from the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. After graduating from the Academy, he lives and works in Moscow. The artist is famous and in demand.
Now let's talk about the works of artists. Not about everyone, but about portraits of women. For example, about those that I collected in the gallery.
Who are these ladies? They are wearing outfits of the late 19th and early 20th centuries ... Rather, and more - this is the 19th century. Ladies of the world? Obviously not. Maybe ladies, sorry, demimonde? And again no! For the first - they lack something, and for the second - this "something" with a great excess.
What is the success of the artist's work? Especially for the better half of humanity?
He (the artist) takes our contemporary and "moves" her 100-150 years ago - into a romantic and so desirable era. Therefore, we see that this is not at all a countess "from ancient times" - there is no significance and severity on her face, there is no obligatory greatness. She has more of a woman.
This is our contemporary. We can say - a modern countess. We see almost these on the streets every day. They just hid behind frayed jeans, shapeless down jackets, or government-owned "business suits." And, this is generally a separate breed of “women” - they try to dress like a man would dress if he suddenly became a woman. They not only dress, they act like men, but they really want to be seen as a woman. Why look for a black doberman in a black room?
Maybe the fashion will change and somehow, finally, life will change ... it would be very great if a holiday came on our street ... On our every street. And we would have seen on this street not a “baba-horse”, but such a young lady as in the paintings of the artist. And not just one (one can still be found today. And even two can be on the same street and at the same time). It's such a big romantic dream.
Here is such a young lady-dream and the artist draws. Let's watch.

The image of a woman beckons
All men, no secret
Their beauty does not fade
They have an inner light.
Woman is the secret of heaven
Not a single connoisseur has unraveled,
Woman - dark forest,
Where the soft coolness is hidden.
The woman is hot
That melted the male nature,
The woman is a game.
Which always goes against the rule.
Woman is poetry
From which you toil in insomnia,
Women are sins
Sometimes you will not repent of them for the rest of your life.
The woman is the rain
Cleansing and long-awaited.
The woman is a tremble
Sweet thrill of the desired moment.
Woman - White color,
May apple trees thick boil,
A woman is a light, the life-giving of the Virgin
Konstantin Razumov was born in 1974 in the city of Zarinsk. He studied painting first in Novoaltaisk art school, then in Russian Academy painting, sculpture and architecture. The artist currently lives and works in Moscow. The works of Konstantin Razumov are exhibited in the largest galleries of the world. His canvases adorn museum collections Moscow, Paris, London and New York. Like hot cakes, they fly from world auctions - now connoisseurs are ready to pay amounts from 3 to 15 thousand dollars for his works. The formation of Konstantin Razumov as an artist was influenced by many styles, but in the end he gave preference to a combination of realism and impressionism. This can be seen in any of his paintings: he paints a portrait realistically, but the background usually deprives him of specifics and performs in a technique characteristic of impressionism. With special predilection, the artist refers to portraits of women- he has a lot of them. The woman in the paintings by Konstantin Razumov is a dream woman who does not give peace to the artist. She came from another time - from the last century. However, it is impossible to determine the exact time or space: impressionistic features deprive the images of binding to a specific place and time. Sometimes Paris is guessed in the paintings, but this is more likely collective image city than the real one. The dream woman in the paintings by Konstantin Razumov is charming, sophisticated and feminine.
And every evening, at the appointed hour
Maiden's camp, seized by silks,
In the foggy window moves.
And slowly, passing among the drunk,
Always without companions, alone
Breathing in spirits and mists,
She sits by the window.
And breathe ancient beliefs
Her elastic silks
And a hat with mourning feathers
And in the rings a narrow hand.
And chained by a strange closeness,
I look behind the dark veil
And I see the enchanted shore
And the enchanted distance.
(c) Alexander Blok
Konstantin Razumov
A contemporary Russian artist whose paintings depict romantic, beautiful, lonely, independent, proud girls from the distant past.
He studied painting first at the Novoaltaisk Art School, then in the workshop of Ilya Glazunov at the Academy fine arts city of Moscow. The artist currently lives and works in Moscow.
A woman is the biggest mystery in a man's life.
Capricious, eccentric, fragile, merciless, vulnerable,
purposeful, illogical and therefore even more interesting.
Life-giving and heart-breaking.
A charade, a puzzle, a mystery with seven seals.....
The dream woman in the paintings by Konstantin Razumov is charming, sophisticated and feminine.
And quite unlike modern young ladies.
The artist paints the features of this woman extremely realistically. Essentially, it is the same beautiful lady, which passes from one picture to another. However, even a realistically painted image, but placed in a ghostly reality, seems incredible, illusory.
I am a woman with whom it is difficult,
But without which it is a hundred times more difficult ...
Containing good and evil
In the family of which cats, lions and snakes ...
I am a woman.
There are no similar ones in the world
I am a woman who is flattering next to ...
I am a woman,
Keeping a secret
How to conquer a man
From a glance...
Able to build and break
Laugh sincerely
And falsely hide the tears ..
Which sometimes you can't understand...
I am a woman,
which is for you
It's not a pity to burn bridges
And tear down the walls...
I am a woman,
Walking towards you...
And they won't go astray
Heat and blizzards...
I am a woman...
Laughing in the face of fate...
And I'm not afraid of her...
After all, with her we -
Girlfriends...
Tatiana Hecate
Always be beautiful and carefree
to hell with all the household chores,
"Oh, what a woman passed!"
And don't forget about makeup, of course,
Even if you go home
So that a man thinks everyone he meets:
"Oh, what a lady, my God!"
And another piece of advice:
Sometimes take a glass
So that a man thinks everyone he meets:
"Oh, what a woman, damn it!"
A beautiful woman is a profession
And if it's still not settled,
She is condemned and each version
It has its unconditional supporters.
To her, from childhood, fed not by fables,
To remain alone and, therefore, powerless,
Much scarier, much more dangerous
Than if she was not considered beautiful.
Let the past novels leaf through enough,
Let the ugly girls rave about visiting princes.
And in rare profession fabulous woman
Ust skills, secrets, and strict principles.
She walks silently along the tremulous street,
Sitting as if on a throne - with sworn friends.
You have to live - daily shot
Hints, rumors, sighs, glances.
She smiles cheerfully at her friends.
Friends will answer and immediately be offended ...
A beautiful woman is a profession
Everything else is pure amateurism.
Robert Rozhdestvensky
Enchantress and trickster...
How many have you driven crazy?
Do not give into the hands, tease ...
Full of secret beauty...
Enchanted by Love...
Bewitched by Fate...
The poets outlined the syllable
On my knees before you...
It's funny, it's shy...
With languid negligence in the eyes ...
You are changeable like a song
You are baptized in heaven...
You are married to the wind in the field...
You are the mystery of all ages...
Jewel of life... woman...
The secret of songs and ... poems ...
Hidden in a woman of any charm trait,
An invisible thread of blissful peace
Enveloping with an aura of invisible beauty,
When, happy, she finds peace with herself.
And her bouquet of feelings plays with different colors,
Shimmering with all the colors of hope and love.
Beaming, she looks at everyone with beautiful eyes,
Filled with the tenderness of her spiritual warmth.
And the light of the inner continuous radiance,
As a halo surrounds those who are next to her.
palette light colors dilute with a smile,
Fills with tones of attitude with a glance.
Marina Ma'am
...I want to say about stockings,
In just a few words:
You women forgive me
And sorry for the indiscretion
Although the trousers are always comfortable for you,
In stockings, you are simply incomparable ...
Artist Konstantin Razumov (Razumov Konstantin).
The young artist Konstantin Razumov is infinitely talented and modest. Unfortunately, I could not find a clear biography of him on the Internet, even the date of birth is indicated, then 1974, then 1961. Talent, modesty and incredible sensitivity and the ability to so accurately convey and reflect the whole essence delights.
Konstantin Razumov was born in 1974 (1961) in the city of Zarinsk. He studied painting first at the Novoaltaisk Art School, then at the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. The artist currently lives and works in Moscow.
Konstantin Razumov studied in the workshop of Ilya Glazunov at the Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow. The exciting works of the young artist Razumov are currently enjoying in great demand. Influenced by many styles, he mastered the technique of combining realism and impressionism. In most of his paintings, the figures, facial features, and hands are painted realistically, while the fabric and surroundings are painted with impressionist brushstrokes.
Eternal femininity is invariably associated with Blok's poetry. And from the pictures Konstantin Razumov in the memory of a rhinestone, lines from the Block appear. Unites them dream woman which everyone sings in their own way. Konstantin Razumov in his paintings seems to return to the same image in order to preserve the unique features dear to the heart. However, the dream takes the artist to another time, so you will not see a single portrait of a modern woman.
The formation of Konstantin Razumov as an artist was influenced by many styles, but in the end he gave preference to a combination of realism and impressionism. This can be seen in any of his paintings: he paints a portrait realistically, but the background usually deprives him of specifics and performs in a technique characteristic of impressionism.
With special predilection, the artist treats female portraits - he has a great many of them. However, he does not represent modern women, as, for example, do Pascal Pratt or Anna Teresa Fernandez. The woman in the paintings by Konstantin Razumov is a dream woman who does not give peace to the artist. She came from another time - from the last century. However, it is impossible to determine the exact time or space: impressionistic features deprive the images of binding to a specific place and time. Sometimes the romance of Paris is guessed in the paintings, but this is more a collective image of the city than a real one.
The dream woman in the paintings by Konstantin Razumov is charming, sophisticated and feminine. And quite unlike modern ladies. The artist paints the features of this woman extremely realistically. In fact, this is the same beautiful lady who moves from one picture to another. However, even a realistically painted image, but placed in a ghostly reality, seems incredible, illusory.
Enjoy the pictures of this young genius modernity.

We invite you to turn to the creativity of modern Russian artist Konstantin Razumov, in whose paintings femininity and purity coexist, despite their frankness.
Information about the artist himself is quite fragmentary and contradictory. There is no official data on the Internet, and versions differ in various sources. Because - personal information Let's reduce it to a minimum: today the artist is about 50 years old, he lives and works in Moscow. His works, due to the theme, are in sufficient demand, which, oddly enough, does not push the artist to actively promote his work as a commodity.
Razumov developed his own recognizable style based on impressionism and realism. This symbiosis is noticeable in all his paintings: portraits look realistic, while the background is usually done in a manner characteristic of the Impressionists.
With rare exceptions, the main characters of Razumov's paintings are women. He paints portraits of girls, outside of time and space. However, these are not modern profits, rather, a collective image of the dream woman of the artist himself. If you look closely, it becomes obvious that in various portraits the girls have similar features. This allows us to draw certain parallels with the image of a Woman (or Femininity) in the poems of A. Blok, which runs like a red line through all the work of the poet, gradually changing, as it develops, acquiring more and more tragic, mystical and sinister features. The girl in Razumov's pictures is more ordinary, but also not without a touch of "reality".
The artist paints for himself. He has seen enough to not build illusions about female purity, but the foundation of the images he embodies is a kind of childish purity and sincerity, which is expressed in general impression that remains from the paintings. The mentioned rare exception, by the way, are children, whose images are just as loved by the artist and are, as it were, confirmation of that very childish attitude inherent in his works.
The paintings of Konstantin Razumov do not carry vulgarity, despite the undisguised beauty of naked female natures inherent in some of his canvases. They, thanks to the style of the image, are perceived rather fabulously than naturalistically. No, a recipient with a rough internal organization will definitely pay attention to the fact that these are “naked women”, but even in this case, the artist’s paintings will cause more vulgar giggles about their content than excitement.
Here, in fact, one can notice that femininity and sexuality are phenomena, essence, of the same order, but they are not identical. Everything depends on the message in which these features are expressed, on its inner message, as well as on the moral content of the observer himself.
But talk away! Let the paintings of Konstantin Razumov speak for themselves.
