Igor Shulman Artwork / 2007 year Album / The Ballet (Start) — The Ballet (Start)

The ballerina's back is to the viewer, suggesting a hidden interiority that invites contemplation. The pose itself – a moment of pause – is pregnant with emotion. Is she exhausted after a performance? Lost in thought? Anticipating the next movement? The ambiguity is part of the piece's strength. The dark tones and the shadowy background contribute to a feeling of gravity and perhaps even melancholy. The viewer is left to interpret the ballerina’s inner state — The Ballet (Pause)

Painting of a woman in a sleeveless red dress striding forward, her dress billowing behind her against a muted, open background — ℹ
Untitled (Red Ascendancy) — Woman in Flowing Scarlet Dress in Motion in details
Red Ascendancy captures the commanding presence of a woman in motion—a moment where freedom and strength seem to radiate from her very stance. Dressed in a sweeping, scarlet gown that streams behind her, she strides forward with purpose and intensity. Her dark hair, touched by an invisible wind, echoes the swirling movement of her dress, while the softness of her expression suggests both power and a trace of melancholy.

The artist’s brushwork is expressive and energetic, rendering the red dress with bold, sweeping strokes that fill much of the canvas. The muted, expansive background—gentle grays and beiges—serves to further highlight the luminous red, making the scene feel as vast as it is intimate. Hints of dark accessories add a subtle layer of mystery.

There is a sense of both journey and self-discovery in her pose. The red dress becomes more than fabric—it’s a signal of her presence, a signifier of freedom, energy, and perhaps defiant confidence. With its blend of realism and impressionistic flair, this painting stands as a tribute to the dynamism and strength of modern femininity, inviting the viewer to feel both the energy of the present and the possibility of what lies ahead.
Untitled (Red Ascendancy)

The painting shows a woman lost in thought, wrapped in shadows and a sense of mystery. She has dark, shoulder-length hair, and her face is partly hidden by the way she’s positioned and the dark clothes she’s wearing. She sits near the center of the canvas, taking up most of the space from top to bottom. Her hands are raised near her collarbone, as if she’s pulling her coat or jacket closer around her neck. Her expression is serious—almost sad or deep in reflection—and her eyes look down and away, not meeting the viewer’s gaze. The style leans toward impressionism, with soft, blurred details in her hair and clothing that focus more on mood and shape than on sharp lines. The colors are mostly dark greys, charcoal, and black, with just a hint of lighter shades around her edges that suggest a faint light falling on her. The background is pure white, which makes the dark figure stand out even more. Overall, the painting feels quiet and thoughtful, with a somber tone. The woman’s posture and the dark colors add to the feeling of introspection. The artist chose to keep the figure somewhat abstract, not fully realistic, using simple shapes and a limited color range to create a powerful emotional effect. — The Moscow
27.56 W x 27.56 H in / 70 x 70 cm

This painting shows a person wearing a dark coat, standing with their arms raised above their head in a gesture that feels like surrender or a plea. The figure is seen from behind, with only the back of their head and neck visible. The coat is long, heavy, and loose, almost swallowing the person’s shape. The background is soft and blurry, made up of pale blues, grays, and whites that blend together to create a dreamy, misty feeling. The brushstrokes are loose and energetic, giving the piece a sense of movement but also uncertainty. The colors are muted and serious, which adds to the overall mood of solemnity or even desperation. Because the background is so vague, all attention goes to the figure and their powerful pose. The painting expresses strong emotions—maybe sadness, vulnerability, or intense release—leaving it open for the viewer to find their own meaning in the moment. — The Music

The Russian Glamour shows a young, slim man with short dark hair and a bare chest, revealing a lean build. He holds an old, dark accordion that looks well-used, hinting at years of playing. A cigarette hangs loosely from his lips, adding to his cool, somewhat brooding expression. His eyes meet the viewer’s directly, with a look that feels both intense and a little distant. The background is a soft, light beige, simple and muted to keep the focus on the man and his instrument. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a spontaneous, raw feeling that matches the emotion in the figure. There’s a mix of vulnerability and toughness here. His bare chest suggests openness, while the cigarette and steady gaze show confidence and a bit of defiance. The worn accordion connects him to tradition or culture, hinting at a story of struggle or endurance. The title, The Russian Glamour, adds an interesting contrast—pairing the subject’s rough, unpolished look with a quiet sense of charm and appeal. Altogether, it’s a striking portrait that invites you to look deeper and imagine the story behind the image. — The Russian Glamour

Igor Shulman Artwork / 2007 year Album / With Woolf - 180x60 cm — With Woolf
23.62 W x 70.87 H in / 60 x 180 cm

This painting shows a woman lost in thought, standing against a soft, abstract background, giving off a feeling of quietness and reflection. Right in the middle of the painting is a woman with short, reddish-brown hair, painted in a somewhat impressionistic way. She’s wearing a long, loose tan coat that looks like it might be swaying a bit, as if there’s a gentle breeze. Her arms are crossed, and she's looking away from the viewer, completely lost in her own thoughts. Her whole stance and expression give off a feeling of deep contemplation, maybe even a little sadness. She has dark boots or shoes on. She stands on what looks like a flat, muted ground in sandy or beige tones. Behind her, the background is abstract and unclear, a mix of light beige, browns, and hints of darker shades that suggest buildings or shapes, but they never quite form anything distinct. There’s a feeling of subtle movement in these blurred background colors, almost like a hazy landscape or a city seen through a fog. On the right side, you can almost make out some kind of structure or vague buildings, with darker colors adding a sense of depth. A thin, almost wet-looking line of off-white cuts across the middle distance. The colors are mostly muted and soft, lots of earthy tones like beige, browns, and a bit of dark gray and reddish-brown. The whole piece feels thoughtful, quiet, and maybe a little sad. The loose brushwork and the blurry background really add to the painting's emotional punch. — 47.24 W x 47.24 H in / 90 x 90 cm

Painting of a pensive young woman in a pale yellow dress seated at a small round table, quietly contemplative, with a reddish-brown rooster standing nearby, set against a dark, softly lit background — ℹ
Untitled (Whispered Solitude) — Young Woman in Pale Yellow Dress with Rooster, Realism with Impressionist Touch in details
This painting gently captures a moment of quiet introspection shared between a thoughtful young woman and a watchful rooster. The woman sits gracefully in her soft, creamy yellow dress, her warm earthy-toned skin glowing subtly in the delicate light. Her calm yet slightly melancholic expression invites reflection, while the simple dark table between her and the rooster sets a delicate stage for their silent encounter.

The reddish-brown rooster, alert and vibrant, contrasts with the woman’s stillness, introducing a rustic element that deepens the painting’s narrative tension. The dark, textured background wraps around them in muted browns and blacks, focusing attention on the intimate scene while suggesting the depth of the woman’s inner world.

Rendered in a skillful blend of realism and loose impressionistic brushwork, the painting balances careful attention to light, shadow, and form with soft, expressive textures. The subdued color palette and nuanced contrasts evoke a mood of calm contemplation, solitude, and the complex interaction between gentleness and quiet strength. This work invites the viewer to dwell in the fragile beauty of a moment suspended between humanity and nature.

Ballerina mid-leap in a flowing white costume, suspended against a deep, textured blue background with visible painterly brushstrokes — ℹ
Untitled (The Ballet) – A Moment of Flight and Grace in details
Untitled (The Ballet) captures a dancer at the height of a grand jeté, her body fully extended and her spirit lifted. Soft light caresses her warm skin as she rises through the air, the translucent layers of her white costume swirling around her. The rich, deep blue backdrop frames her movement, with brushstrokes that echo the energy and fluidity of her leap. Her upward gaze and poised hands reveal both strength and longing—a hunger for perfection woven into the quiet intensity of her moment in flight. The painting’s texture—a blend of smooth skin, delicate fabric, and a smoky backdrop—draws viewers into the dual worlds of discipline and dream that ballet commands. This work is a celebration of dedication, artistry, and the rare beauty that lives in motion and silence. Each detail invites you to linger and imagine the music that carries her skyward, if only for a breathless moment.
