Painting Overview

I am continuing the project “Photos from the trash bin”. Photo defects can be not only technical or expositional. These can be compositional mistakes of the photographer, or behavioral mistakes of the model.

This sweet girl decided to improve her hair at the most crucial moment. In theory, it’s rubbish.

But I thought it was wonderful that it happened that way. Maybe it didn’t work out very well with the face, but it’s not the most important thing in a portrait. Emotion, character, mood. Everything is in place.

So the portrait is not so bad. And most importantly, many shy girls recognize themselves in this. And maybe they will smile.

A lot of raw canvas on this, but impressive painting exactly as described. Hard to wrap the canvas given it's odd size, but I love Igor's work.

After reviewing Igor Shulman’s selected portfolio, I believe his most compelling series is the Ambience collection, particularly pieces like "Etude No. 377 In Front of a Mirror".

A casual viewer might see this painting's surface image and simply be struck by the atmosphere and the curiosity of a beautiful instrument standing alone in the harsh cold. They might wonder how it came to be there, and maybe they'd find it a little sad, a little lonely. But, as always, Igor S…
