Artist Igor Kirillov
Kazan painter, architect.
The main interests are architecture and painting.
He is known for his works made in the oil on canvas technique,
in this own style - romantic hyperrealism.
Romantic hyperrealism combines the realism of the details
of the reality around us with a fabulous world of fantasies, fairy
tales, myths and legends.
The painting has a complex storyline and many characters.
The artist in his artworks seeks to distract the viewer from
everyday life and present a new reality, revealing something
unusual - the image of a romantic perception of this world. The
artist's paintings resemble dreams and fairy-tale dreams in
which the audience is always happy and carefree as children.
The artist's statement.
"Sometimes, with coming of age, we stop see, and most
importantly, feel the extraordinary beauty and harmony of the
reality around us. The reason for this is everyday endless troubles and worries for no reason. Perhaps it is just a feature of
human nature to get used to everything beautiful and terrible,
good and evil, to everything that is in everyone's daily life. The
desire to escape from the routine is common for many of us with
rare exceptions.
It should show children's emotions through painting. The
main task of my works is to express those emotions that make
life brighter and happier".
