Childhood melodies

Artist Vladimir Kolbasov was born in Leningrad in 1960, and for the last 30 years he has been successfully comprehending the wisdom of watercolor technique. Petersburg in his paintings is exquisitely curved and smoothly stretchy. It turns out that our houses are not roughly plastered facades, but a subtle color scheme and a lively play of colors. It turns out if you look closely, you can see a fairy tale and a dream around. Dancing Petersburg and its dreams ... its melody and its endless sky, the bends of the embankments and the web of electric wires, the strokes of tram tracks on the asphalt and the bottomless eyes of the attic windows ... Andersen's fabulous reality.
Once you see St. Petersburg Kolbasov, you will not notice how it will become part of your idea of the city. Walking with the artist along the winding embankment, you will notice a saxophonist on the roof, and suddenly the quiet city will come to life, opening the windows of old houses in a waltz, hanging clothes on the wires, mischievously pushing the wet, tattered roofs to one side, letting the drainpipes flying away in the fall into the distance ... your wildest color fantasies and yours too. Just walk more quietly ..... otherwise wake up the city and wake up yourself.
According to Vladimir, making the first smear on paper, he never knows what he will see at the end. Nevertheless, all addresses take place in reality. Another area of creative interests of Vladimir Kolbasov is the fountains of his fantasies, which are based on his own subjects.
