Maxim Fomenko
His pictures, often interpretations of masterpieces of his role models Picasso, Bacon or Hockney are increasingly gaining humor. A work of perfect craftsmanship and a lot of humor In a modernized way, Maxim Fomenko uses the Old technique of "layer painting“. The artist fixes acrylic paint in bright primary shades on the canvas, before he creates his surreal figures with oil paint with a broad brushstroke. Picasso, classicism and sex are themes ironically reflected in his works.
