Happiness by artist Leonid Baranov
In metropolitan areas you will not meet old men and women like these in Baranov’s paintings. Perhaps, the old man in the paintings – is a collective image of a good old age. The joy of being … And, perhaps, this is the main philosophy in creativity of the Urals artist Leonid Pavlovich Baranov. According to him, you do not need to seek happiness – you need to be its source. This is what the characters of his painting speak about.
We must agree that in order to portray people so radically, one must love both people and the inner child who lives in all of us all life. Otherwise, the artist simply could not avoid falsehood. Undoubtedly, Happiness is a universal concept. Arranged on canvas, and signed in the frame, in the “pocket” version of the beautiful, it will be popular for many years.
Born in 1955 in Kurgan region, Baranov was graduated from the Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) Art College (1984). Since 1987 Baranov is a freelance artist. His picturesque village stories are in private collections in different locations around the world.
