Buildings play an important role in the art go Mikhail Kondratiev. City and its architecture have been always a great inspiration for the artist. From his opinion, each house has its own history, the ark of culture and art. Cityscape – is the way of self-expression and the artist’s impression. The artist puts a certain energy into the place he depicts.

The work is filled with a special light effect. Depending on the lighting, the painting shimmers in different shades. The artist manages to achieve this effect by using of metal powder and the glaze method. First, the artist applies a relief paste, then silver powders and layers of oil paint are applied. Thanks to this effect, the picture seems light and even watercolour.
