Section 1: Technical Review
The first part of the feedback focuses on your technical skills. The reviewer gave his opinion on the quality of your craft (e.g. color palette, shape, texture, size, technique, framing, and composition)
How do you asses the artist’s technique in terms of colors, shapes, texture, and size, as well as used material, medium, and process?
At first glance, Igor Shulman’s portfolio presents a cohesive and unified artistic style, primarily featuring oil paintings. His choice of a traditional medium reinforces a sense of consistency across his body of work. The color palette stands out for its harmony, with a misty, muted tone that pervades many of his pieces. This gives the artwork a soft, atmospheric quality. Shulman explores a variety of subjects, from shoes to ballet dancers and female figures. His work seems to blend elements of both expressionism and impressionism, with fluid, expressive brushstrokes that convey movement and emotion. The harmony in his color choices and the overall aesthetic result in a light, ethereal feeling that is visually appealing. In terms of scale, Shulman’s paintings range from smaller works, like those measuring 57 x 41 cm, to larger pieces up to 120 x 80 cm. Each size has its own distinct impact, and he demonstrates skill in adapting his technique to different formats. Overall, there is a clear continuity and consistency throughout his portfolio, suggesting a well-developed and recognizable style.
Section 2: Artistic review
The second part of the review focuses on the artistic and aesthetic aspects of the portfolio.
What is the strenght of the portfolio?
One of Igor Shulman’s greatest strengths lies in his unique perspective on interpreting the world. This distinct viewpoint is most evident in his treatment of seemingly everyday objects, such as shoes. For instance, in works like Just Sneakers and Novelist Shoes, Shulman doesn’t depict these items from a conventional top-down or head-on angle. Instead, he offers a perspective from the shoes’ height, as if observing the world from their level. This unusual and fresh way of seeing transforms ordinary objects into something far more intriguing. It highlights his ability to reinterpret mundane scenes and imbue them with a sense of curiosity and originality. This perspective is something I believe he should continue to nurture, as it reflects his unique voice as an artist. Among his works, my personal favorite is Waiting for the Holiday. This piece, in particular, carries a strong cinematic quality, rich with narrative depth. There’s something sophisticated about its composition and creative approach. Rather than depicting dancers or human figures to convey a sense of movement or emotion, Shulman focuses on four dresses and ballet shoes, capturing the essence of dance through the costumes rather than through the dancers themselves. This choice feels innovative and unexpected, as many artists traditionally rely on the human body to express rhythm and motion. By focusing on the attire, Shulman provides a fresh entry point into the world of dance, adding an air of mystery and anticipation to the scene.
Where does the reviewer see the possibility for improvement?
One of the most striking and successful pieces in Igor Shulman’s portfolio is Etude No. 377 In Front of a Mirror, alongside Study #221 Reflex. Both of these paintings possess a powerful cinematic narrative quality. The compositions, especially in the way they depict women from behind or standing by a wall, evoke the mood of film posters, creating an atmosphere that feels deeply narrative and almost storyboard-like. There’s a sense of story unfolding just beyond the frame, which is one of Shulman’s strongest qualities as an artist. This cinematic aesthetic is something I believe Shulman should further develop, possibly through more works in a similar vein, expanding on this unique narrative-driven style. One suggestion I would make is to consider increasing the size of these types of works. Pieces like Etude No. 377 and Study #221 are relatively small, and while they are already impactful, scaling them up would greatly enhance their dramatic effect. Larger canvases would provide more space for the viewer to engage with the subtle details and immerse themselves in the scene. By working on larger formats, Shulman could better capture the immersive and evocative qualities of his art, giving the viewer a more powerful experience. This would not only elevate the presence of these pieces but also align them with the grandeur of filmic storytelling, further reinforcing their narrative strength.
Who or what can you follow and study, or get inspiration from?
Given Igor Shulman’s focus on painting dresses, I believe he could draw inspiration from the works of Edgar Degas, the renowned Impressionist artist famous for his depictions of ballet dancers and their costumes. While Degas and Shulman differ in style, their shared interest in using attire, particularly skirts and dresses, as central subjects presents a potential avenue for Shulman to refine his personal artistic signature. Degas’ work is an excellent example of how a recurring theme or motif, like ballet costumes, can be woven throughout an artist’s portfolio to create a more cohesive and recognizable body of work. Shulman, similarly, could consider further developing the motif of dresses in his paintings, whether through repeated depictions of ballet skirts, or by incorporating various other types of dresses, with a consistent use of distinctive brushwork or color palettes. This could unify his portfolio and make his works more instantly identifiable as his own. By focusing on a clear motif or theme, Shulman could create a stronger narrative thread throughout his work, making his artistic vision more cohesive. For instance, he could experiment with painting dresses in different settings or states, such as on hangers, being worn, or in motion. Each variation would offer fresh perspectives while maintaining a connection to a core motif. This approach would not only highlight his unique perspective but also give his work a more distinct visual identity. Moreover, establishing a recognizable motif could significantly benefit Shulman in terms of building a lasting personal brand in the art world. A clearly defined personal artistic signature helps collectors and audiences quickly associate his works with a specific style or subject matter, making him more memorable and marketable. In this case, the dress motif could evolve into a hallmark of his art, a symbol of his creative vision, while allowing him the flexibility to explore different techniques, compositions, and narratives within that framework.
Section 3: Promotional review
Where do you see the artist on the art market in terms of audience, pricing, and estimated market potential?
In terms of audience, I believe Igor Shulman’s work has broad appeal. His aesthetically pleasing and harmonious compositions can easily find a place in various environments, from private homes to galleries and commercial spaces. This versatility is certainly an advantage, as it ensures his work can resonate with a wide range of viewers, regardless of their specific tastes or backgrounds. Regarding pricing, Shulman’s current price points on the Singulart platform seem appropriate. His prices fall within a reasonable range for works of this size and medium. The pricing is logical and consistent, primarily determined by the size of the canvas, which is a standard practice in the art world. I don’t see any need for adjustment here. As long as his pricing structure remains proportional to the dimensions and complexity of his work, I believe he’s on solid ground. When it comes to promotion, one area where Shulman excels and should continue to build upon, is his thoughtful and detailed descriptions for each artwork. The “about this artwork” section that accompanies each piece is exceptionally well done, offering insight into his creative process, inspiration, and the story behind the work. This adds a personal touch to each painting, giving the art a life and identity of its own. By sharing the unique inspiration behind every piece, Shulman helps potential buyers connect on a deeper, more emotional level with the work. This can be a powerful tool in helping audiences make a purchasing decision, as they aren’t just buying a painting, they’re buying into a story or an experience.

Conclusion
Finally, what would be the one piece of advice you would give this artist, regarding the objective of this review?
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”. This series has the strongest narrative quality, the most cohesive artistic vision, and the greatest potential for creative expansion. The unique perspectives and the emotional depth in the figures create a sense of storytelling that is both evocative and cinematic. This series feels like the heart of Shulman’s portfolio and, in my view, holds the greatest market potential for future development. I would encourage him to continue exploring and expanding this body of work, as it taps into something very special and unique. Artistically, Shulman’s work is already well-developed and mature. His technical skills are strong, with a solid foundation in traditional artistic techniques, combined with a contemporary and expressive style that sets him apart. His consistent sales record and established audience reflect both the quality of his work and its appeal. However, to further elevate his standing in the art market, Shulman could focus on strengthening the distinctive, personal qualities of his art, creating works that are unmistakably his and irreplaceable within the current market. His work already carries a degree of international appeal, and I believe this should be further nurtured. Shulman is wise to participate in a wide array of exhibitions across Europe and beyond, as increasing his global exposure is key to building an international presence. I would also recommend that he explore potential collaborations with interior designers, architects, or curators, who may see his works as fitting seamlessly into a variety of commercial and residential spaces. His paintings have the versatility and beauty to suit many different settings, which could open up new opportunities for commissions and partnerships.

Magnificent Art, Magnificent Artist!
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 Shulman’s enormous skill and compassionate inner eye resonate with me on a deeper level. When I look at this painting, I know without a doubt that the abandoned piano still makes music when the wind blows. And I’m certain that, if only I can catch it at just the right time, I’ll see the wind twist itself into the shapes of all the people whose lives that piano has touched. Their spirits will sit on the bench and once more bring forth the music that brought them such joy.
I can’t express how much I love this painting…it captures me every time I look at it. And I can’t express how easy it was to commission an original work from Igor. From creative ideas, to sketches, to delivery of the finished painting, Igor was exceptionally professional. He kept in constant contact and worked quickly. Don’t hesitate if you’re considering commissioning a piece!
Connie Bjella, US
If you are considering buying or commissioning a painting from Igor Shulman…don’t hesitate. Besides being a truly exceptional artist, he is extremely conscientious. He ships quickly, and his packaging is outstanding. And if you commission an original work, he takes the time to really understand what you want, including emailing sketches for your approval. After that, he works fast. You won’t have to wait forever for the final painting. In my case, he had to do extra work, because I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. So, Igor put his imagination, creativity, and understanding of mood to work on my behalf, making suggestions and coming up with a painting that was absolutely perfect for me. Do yourself a favor and purchase a painting from Igor Shulman. You won’t regret it.
Carol Richard, United States
As always, Mr. Shulman handled packaging and delivery wonderfully. The artwork itself is of course spectacular.

Galerie Arte del Mondo Bewertung über die Kunst von Igor Shulman
Shulmans Bilder haben mich sofort in ihren Bann gezogen, als ich diese zum ersten Mal sah. Bis heute haben sie keinen Deut dieser Faszination verloren.
Seine Bilder sind wie ein Film, der läuft, für einen Moment stehen bleibt, um dann weiterzulaufen. Beim einen Bild weiß man, dieser Film hat vor kurzem erst begonnen und bei einem anderen Bild, daß er bald zu Ende sein wird und es treibt dem sensiblen Menschen die Tränen in die Augen. Jedes seiner Bilder erzählt eine Geschichte, viele einen Roman, ein ganzes Leben. Diese erzählerische Komponente ist es, die die Faszination seiner Bilder ausmacht. Die Intensität seiner Bildsprache ruft im Betrachter sofort ein Gefühl hervor, wie es sonst nur Gerüche vermögen.
Jedes Bild wirft sofort Fragen auf. Wie lange haben die beiden sich nicht gesehen ? Wird die Freundschaft der kleinen Mädchen halten ? Welche Nachricht hat der junge Mann gerade erfahren, daß er solche Kapriolen schlägt ? Wie viele Tage der Liebe mögen diesem älteren Pärchen noch beschert sein, was alles mögen sie in ihrem Leben schon zusammen bewältigt haben ? Das Mädchen, das die Hände vors Gesicht schlägt, was mag es Schreckliches erlebt haben ?
Kaum einer versteht es so meisterhaft, wie Shulman, ein Gefühl in einem Bild zum Ausdruck zu bringen: Die Freude des Jungen auf der Schaukel, des Mädchens, das an der Teppichstange rumturnt. Die Verzweiflung der am Boden kauernden Frau. Die Frau, die eine Zigarette raucht und in ihrer Mimik erkennt man, es ist die Zigarette danach und kommt sich ein wenig vor, wie ein Voyeur.
Und dann sind da Bilder, verschwommene Erinnerungen, oft an die Kindheit und wir glauben unsere eigenen Erinnerungen vor Augen zu haben.
Bei Shulman sind es meistens die Männer und Jungs, die sich in der Bewegung des Körpers erleben, die schaukeln, springen, tanzen, skaten. Die Frauen sehen wir mehr in ihrem seelischen Erleben, oft verzweifelt, verlassend, fortgehend, für sich alleine nackt, in ihrer Zerbrechlichkeit und Stärke. Viele, einen Koffer tragend, eine Tasche, einen Rollkoffer hinter sich herziehend, einen Lebensabschnitt hinter sich lassend und trotzig und voller Hoffnung einem neuen Leben entgegengehend.
Und dann sind da die Momente, wo sich Mann und Frau treffen, meistens dargestellt in einem Kuß, oft im Aufbruch begriffen. Bei vielen dieser Begegnungen ahnen wir, es ist nur flüchtig, ein kurzer, intensiver Augenblick des Glücks.
Seine Akte zeigen nie nur die reine Nacktheit des Körpers, vielmehr zeigen Sie die unschuldige Nacktheit der Seele und sind daher von einer sanften, aber intensiven Intimität.
Tiere sind bei Shulman oft zu sehen und immer in Ihrer liebevollen Beziehung zum Menschen und umgekehrt. So scheinen die Tiere dem Menschen die einzige treue Konstante zu sein, wenn die anderen Menschen längst nicht mehr da sind.
Die Bilder von Shulman erscheinen einem, rein äußerlich, wie aus einer anderen Zeit, vor allem die Alltagsszenen. Doch sind sie uns sehr nah, denn die wesentlichen Gefühle des Menschen, wie Liebe, Schmerz, Trauer, Trennung, Angst sind zu allen Zeiten dieselben, so, wie auch die Stationen des Lebens mit Kindheit, Altsein und dem was dazwischen ist.
Was Shulmans Bilder uns so nah sein läßt ist, daß da ein Künstler zu sein scheint, dem es nicht darum geht, seine innersten Gefühle zum Ausdruck zu bringen, sondern vielmehr die Gefühle der anderen, der Menschen und Tiere, die er voller Liebe und Mitgefühl betrachtet. Hier ist nicht einer, der um sich selbst so schnell wirbelt, daß er die Außenwelt gar nicht mehr wahrnimmt. Nein, hier scheint einer zu sein, der ganz ruhig steht und seinen mitfühlenden und offenen Blick nach außen richtet, zu den Menschen und den Tieren.
***** Translation in English ******
Shulman’s paintings immediately captivated me when I first saw them. To this day, they have not lost any of that fascination.
His paintings are like a film that runs, pauses for a moment, and then continues. In one painting, you know this film has just started, and in another, you sense it’s about to end, bringing tears to sensitive souls. Each of his paintings tells a story, many a novel, an entire life. This narrative component is what makes his paintings so captivating. The intensity of his imagery evokes feelings in the viewer, akin to the power of scents.
Each painting raises immediate questions. How long have the two not seen each other? Will the friendship of the little girls endure? What news did the young man just receive to make him react this way? How many days of love might the older couple still have ahead, and what trials have they faced together? The girl covering her face with her hands, what terrible experience might she have lived through?
Few master the art, as Shulman does, of expressing a feeling within a painting: the joy of the boy on the swing, the girl playing on the carpet pole. The despair of the crouching woman on the ground. The woman smoking a cigarette, her expression indicating it’s the one after, making her feel a bit like a voyeur.
Then there are the images, blurred memories, often from childhood, as if our own recollections are right before our eyes.
With Shulman, it’s often the men and boys who experience the movement of their bodies, swinging, jumping, dancing, skating. Women are often depicted in their emotional experiences, often in desperation, leaving, departing, standing alone in their vulnerability and strength. Many carry a suitcase, a bag, a rolling suitcase, leaving behind a phase of life and defiantly, hopefully, heading towards a new one.
Then come the moments when man and woman meet, usually portrayed in a kiss, often in departure. With many of these encounters, we sense their fleeting nature, a brief and intense moment of happiness.
His nudes never show only the physical nakedness of the body, but rather the innocent nakedness of the soul, displaying a gentle yet intense intimacy.
Animals are often present in Shulman’s works, always in their loving relationship with humans and vice versa. The animals seem to be humanity’s sole faithful constant when other people are no longer around.
Shulman’s paintings may outwardly appear from another time, especially the everyday scenes. Yet, they are close to us, for the essential human emotions such as love, pain, sorrow, separation, and fear remain the same throughout time, just as life’s stages of childhood, old age, and everything in between.
What brings Shulman’s paintings so close to us is the sense that he’s an artist who isn’t solely focused on expressing his innermost feelings, but rather the feelings of others – people and animals – which he observes with love and compassion. He doesn’t whirl around himself so fast that he loses touch with the outside world. Instead, he stands calmly, directing his compassionate and open gaze outward, towards people and animals.
Austin Trombley, United States
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.
Response from Igor Shulman
Hi Austin !!! Thank you so much for your purchase. I am happy that the painting reached you safely. It’s good that you like everything. The unfinished canvas was left specially for stretching on the stretcher. All the best, Igor.
Danielle Sanjenis, USA
I came back from spending my birthday at my favorite hotel in Paris and I asked Igor to paint a photo of me taken at the hotel. He painted the most beautiful image capturing my most magical place. Igor is an exquisite artist!!! And he works so fast! I would definitely commission another painting from him
Connie Bjella, United States
These paintings…I hardly know how to describe the impact they have on me. Igor Shulman is so skilled at delivering atmosphere, that even if all you do is look at the surface image, you feel it. And if you live in a cold climate, you immediately recognize those feelings. But for me, the real impact lies in the underlying sense of disconnection. I know many people see the word “disconnection” as a negative, but I don’t. To me, it’s necessary. With all of the manufactured outrage and hysteria surrounding modern life, there are times I crave that disconnection. There’s a kind of peace in it. Anyway, thank you, Igor. Your art takes me exactly where I need to be. (A note to those who are curious: The two paintings referenced are “A Sunken Horizon” and “It’s a Strange Place,” and you can still see them on Igor Shulman’s page here on Artfinder.)
Response from Igor Shulman
Dear Connie !!!! No one has ever sent me a review like that before. And I’m not talking about the number of letters. I’m about understanding. I had the impression that I wrote the letter myself. It doesn’t happen that way, so accurately and so profoundly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was so unexpected, so pleasant. Igor.

There are painters who can observe life and depict it in such a manner that the full range of emotions, moods, sensations, and even odours pervade the entire canvas. You look at the photo – and in seconds you are engulfed in the feelings of the person shown, his entire life or moment of life becomes so evident, as if this portion of life is yours as well, even emotions arrive in the body. And each image tells its own narrative right away. This is how I saw Igor Andrianov’s works.
Rick Hebron, USA
Wonderful communication. He’s a genius, and this painting was a steal for what I paid. I highly recommend this artist…

If I could give 10 stars I would. We commissioned a painting from Igor and he responded quickly to every question we asked. He made sketches to make sure that was what we wanted. He gave us an estimated time frame and finished a week early. He sent progress reports daily. When sent to us it was packaged very well. Igor has been our best experience on Artfinder.com and will defiantly consider buying from him again. Thank you again Igor Shulman, you the best!!!

Acerca de Igor Shulman: cuando descubrí algunas de sus obras me impresionó mucho, me transmite emociones muy distintas: refleja realidades con sesgos de tristeza, un hondo pesar en el que la ternura y la compasión se atreve a darnos una alternativa dulce a la ruina insoslayable de cualquier vida; con maestría -casi con crueldad o sin casi-sus figuras de mujeres excepcionales extreman sus aspectos más sexuales, encajando la fuerza del sexo con la decadencia inherente al dandismo; el hombre solo aún es protagonista de ocupaciones posindustriales, ya caerá. Os lo recomiendo; está en las redes y responde.
About Igor Shulman: when I discovered some of his works, I was very impressed, it conveys very different emotions in me: it reflects realities with hints of sadness, a deep regret in which tenderness and compassion dare to give us a sweet alternative to unavoidable ruin of any life; masterfully -almost cruelly or hardly- her figures of exceptional women extreme their most sexual aspects, fitting the force of sex with the inherent decadence of dandyism; man alone is still the protagonist of post-industrial occupations, he will fall. I recommend it to you; is in the networks and responds.

Anthony Yeates, United Kingdom
I love Igor’s work. He is a talented artist of course, but, more importantly, he has that extra gift of inviting the viewer to think deeply about the subject, or the underlying story, and often with humour. Furthermore, he was generous with his time during the commission and a joy to deal with. Sadly, I Cannot show the pictures in situ yet because they are still being framed. A gear experience all round Anthony Yeates
Response from Igor Shulman
Dear Anthony !!! It gives me great pleasure to receive such great reviews. True, I am not worthy of such high marks. Thank you so much for choosing me in the ocean of artists from all over the world. I really appreciate it. It helps me a lot to improve my self-esteem. I am not confident, doubting, anxious. Such assessments literally cure me. I have been collecting a collection of my works in the interiors of buyers for a long time. This is the most enjoyable part of my life. I expect this from you too. As soon as you hang up, please send pictures in the interior. I really need it. Thanks again, Igor

G. Turan, Netherlands
Simply love the way in which Igor Shulman portrays people (and animals); Their gestures, positions and activities. Even if you do not see their faces, their body language is telling it all. Have not seen that in this order with other painters yet. Had very good contact with the artist, who always responded within a few hours at the latest to my questions. Received the prints (the originals were sold out already) in good order in only 2 weeks (despite of Covid) from the Czech Republic. Always a pleasure to look at Igor Shulman’s paintings on Artfinder, enjoying his originality very much!
Response from Igor Shulman
Thank you so much for such a high opinion of my work. I do my job as best I can. I put all my strength into the work. And I’m happy if someone likes it. Thanks again !!!
Pamela Chuey, United States
Incredibly talented artist and wonderful human being!
If you are seeking high quality art full of life, emotion, movement and fantastic lighting, please see Igor’s work. His brushwork is impeccable!
If you are concerned about shipping (internationally) or packaging, please set your fears aside. His packaging is impeccable, not a single dent or scratch as it is near bulletproof. He not only sets your expectations every single step of the way, he also is very timely in his actions. As a person who values time, he is very easy to conduct business with.
This is my first experience and will continue to buy additional artworks from Igor. I am very selective and look at thousands of pieces of artwork prior to selecting a piece, his paintings are noteworthy.
May you enjoy your artwork from Igor as much as I do.

Jeff Boguski, United States
Wandering the streets of Prague I happened on a compelling painting displayed outward from a small gallery. I passed it by first at a distance and then again up close when the maze of streets serendipitously brought me back. Drawn in for a closer look to find out about the artist I found the gallery was wonderful and full of interesting scenes from the city I was exploring. I was strongly drawn to the painting hung on the door and at my request the gallery attendant reached out to the artist to broker a sale. I ended up bringing home my first original artist painting and have been enjoying the piece every day since in my home. Igor Shulman creates beautiful human forms and everyone visiting Prague should take a moment to experience his work in person.

Serena Tremlett, United Kingdom
Wonderful Artist!
I consider myself very lucky to have come across Igor’s work on an art website about four years ago. I ended up buying four pictures at the time and was pleased with them all. As we prepared to move to a bigger house, I immediately looked online again to my favourite artist. This time, I had direct contact with Igor which was fantastic and beneficial for us both.
Igor was easy to deal with and so helpful in working with me to get the pictures from Prague to a small island close to the UK.
His work is gorgeous, full of life, colour and with each canvas having its own special story. Could not be happier and would totally recommend.

This Artist Is Blessed With Talent Just Wow!
On a recent trip to Prague, I found myself captivated by two totally different paintings. In two different small art shoppes. Both were done, unbeknownst to me then, by Igor Shulman. I was captured by this artist’s work. I had to learn more.
I am lucky enough to have a wonderful person in my life that subsequently contacted that studio in Prague, and surprised me with the gift of one of those paintings I had seen on that trip.
Since then, I have purchased an additional painting from Igor Shulman. I am fascinated by his work. I have been in correspondence with him over his artwork. A fan of a particular artist gets to converse with the talent who created it! How wonderful! I couldn’t ask for anything more! Thank you Igor for that. And for creating these masterpieces that I cherish.
All my interaction with Igor Shulman Painting Store has been nothing short of professional and courteous. Top shelf organization. I especially appreciated the care and concern with the packaging of my oil painting. It was done properly – a tube within a tube- so great to see things done right!
Thank you Igor.
I wish you great inspiration and best wishes!

I love my painting. Igor asked a lot of qusestions to make sure it would be how I wanted it. I think it turned out great to get Emma Watson Keira Knightley myself Cara Delevigne & Lily Collins all eating pizza had to be hard but he did it!
Response from Igor Shulman
This was hard. Really! it turned out for me only at the second attempt. Thank you for your patience and excellent feedback, Igor.

Love this piece. I was quite nervous to make this purchase as I have never had a painting delivered in a tube before. I was afraid of oil paint cracking. It arrived safe and sound. My framing shop informed me that Mr. Shulman uses top quality canvas which prevents damage from rolling and it was rolled properly (paint on the outside). I couldn’t be happier. Ross Calgary, Canada
Response from Igor Shulman
I’m glad that you liked everything. Thanks for the kind words. If you had voiced your fears earlier, I would have dispelled them even earlier. I send the work over 20 years. Experience can not be avoided anywhere.) Contact us again !!!

I received the commission ahead of the agreed schedule and am very happy with the result. the communication has been efficient and professional. I would highly recommend Mr Shulman and I’m a big admirer of his art! I cannot yet upload any pictures as the canvases arrived without any frames so I need to sort this out first.
Response from Igor Shulman
Спасибо Константин !!!! С вами приятно было работать.Заходите еще!!!)))) Всех благ Игорь.
Karin Pope, United States
I love this artist and the amazing things he can create! The artwork arrived on time, very securely packaged. These paintings are amazing and I am going straightaway (tomorrow) to have them stretched so I can hang them! White sofa is especially beautiful with the wonderful colors that Mr. Shulman used! Did I say I am a fan?

Good communication by Igor and i love the painting. My only concern was that the tube the painting was shipped in did not have the typical end caps. It was well sealed by shipping tape but the canvas and painting was every so slightly moist when opened. No visual damage and I understand that it takes time for oil paints to cure but thought end caps might have been safer. Igor even sent a smaller print as a bonus which was nice.
Response from Igor Shulman
Thank you very much for your feedback. I’m glad you liked my picture. I certainly I will consider your remark about the package. This is a very valid point. I’ll pack these paintings more carefully. Thanks again.
Nancy Altshule, United States
