Incredibly peaceful and at the same time cheerful creative work of Mikhail Kondratyev. We may see the depiction of the pier in sunny calm weather. The artist knows how to stop and catch instant moments in nature, such as reflection of boats in the smooth surface of the water. One of the main objects is the sky: “Sometimes the sky gives us whole dramatic works».

The artist gives the picture a kind of watercolour lightness. This effect is achieved due to the glaze technique – the imposition of one layer on top of another. One of the layers is a metal layer, which not only fills the canvas with inner light, but also gives different shades depending on the lighting.
