Artem Puchkov, an artist from the city of Simferopol, became a new discovery for the audience.
Working in the best traditions of the Crimean school of painting, the artist offers the viewer the aesthetics of a real, beautifully executed work of art. The themes are unchanged – mountain and seascapes. Among the connoisseurs of talent are bankers, diplomats, businessmen and politicians, about whom Puchkov speaks little and reluctantly. Why? After all, this is not the main thing. Artem is sure that the real image can be made only by the works themselves, where, as if in the palm of your hand, you can see the talent of the artist and his ability to convey his special worldview and perception.
Artem Puchkov’s skills are preceded by long years of study, constant search and continuous work. Artem looks for his motives everywhere – in the mountains of Crimea or Tibet, in the sunset on the Black Sea or the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The main thing is to be sincere and emotional, to convey to the viewer that state of nature that becomes consonant with the artist’s soul and inspiration.
