Pavel Veshchev,
painting and graphic arts.
" The Works P. Veshchev are interesting not only in themselves, -art
critic H. Grigoriants comments, - that is, without question but again and
again they allow us to reflect on the essence of art in general and about
the special characteristic of modern art in particular. Here there is everything
debate between form and formlessness expressed in his figurative style. He
displays originality in his very individual choice of colors. There is a luminescence
distinguishing many of his works akin only to the works of the old masters.
In the eyes of the beholder they appear to belong equally to the end of the
20-th century and the most ancient culture. One of the motives of his creative
work is to get to the heart of both the past and the future, to illustrate
both the process and meaning of his subject. To sum it all up, he is an artist
portraying truth."
