You are perfection
You are magic itself
Kisses bliss,
And a celebration of love...
The image of a woman beckons
All men, it's no secret
Their beauty does not fade,
They have an inner light.
Woman is the secret of heaven,
Not a single expert has solved it,
Woman - dark forest,
Where the soft coolness is hidden.
Woman is heat
That the male nature melted,
A woman is a game.
What always goes against the rule.
A woman is poetry
Which make you suffer from insomnia,
Woman is sins
Sometimes you won’t repent of them for the rest of your life.
Woman is rain
Cleansing and welcome.
A woman is a shiver
The sweet thrill of a desired minute.
Woman - White color,
May apple trees are boiling thickly,
Woman is light, the Virgin Mary's life-giving

Actually, everything connected with the life of an artist is mysterious. Wikipedia talks about him only in English or Spanish. No interviews in newspapers or magazines. Apparently, Konstantin Razumov leads a closed life. He puts his paintings up for sale, not himself.
Brief information about the artist
There is a discrepancy in the date of birth. Some indicate 1961, others suggest 1974. Thirteen years difference is a very big difference. It seems to us that Konstantin Razumov was born in 1974 and that now, in 2016, he is in his early forties. Just looking at his work and seeing the look is enough young man. The same can be judged by looking at his only portrait.
It makes him look youthful - Konstantin Razumov, artist. The photo shows us the painter not in formal dress, but in his everyday form - in a cowboy jacket. The background is the airy delicate fabrics and decorations that he uses in his works.
Konstantin Razumov, artist: biography
K. Razumov was born in the city of Zarinsk in Altai. Back in 1979, it was just a station village with a population of less than twenty thousand people. So, small homeland artist was literally small, but I wanted, like anyone creative person, study, communication with peers. This was partly provided by the Novoaltaysk Art College, and then the aspiring artist, who felt great potential in himself, went to the capital. Konstantin Razumov studied with Ilya Glazunov in 1994-2001, and then set off on a free voyage, which turned out to be very successful. He exhibits his works at international auctions and is financially quite successful.
Genre in which the artist works
Portraits of women and children, well, maybe even animals - this is the favorite subject of such a painter as Konstantin Razumov. The artist chose her not by chance. In all ages beautiful women attracted the attention of creators. And, by the way, buyers. Not everyone can afford to buy a masterpiece by Winterhalter or Renoir, but Razumov’s work, filled with poetry, is available to those who sincerely love light and air, pure and exciting female images, sometimes alluring, sometimes mysteriously detached, but always full of inexplicable charm.
The painter's children are also out of date, like his young women; it is difficult to imagine them at the computer or watching TV. Communication with a book or playing with a cat or dog is suitable for them. In this case, the artist chooses an exquisite, hunting dog that knows how to calmly follow its owner.
Contemporary painting
Long ago, back in the 19th century, people stopped relying entirely on the opinions of critics and art historians about what is good and bad in painting. There are many examples from the past, but let us recall only one painting by A. Cabanel, “The Birth of Venus.” This is not a masterpiece, but the Emperor of France Napoleon III liked it so much that he immediately added it to his collection. And he didn’t care what the critics wrote. Yes and modern man focuses on his own taste, and not on the supposed genius of the work of art.
Only time will tell what the canvas represents, but for now we are simply admiring the images that Konstantin Razumov creates. The artist chose a very specific type for himself modern face: huge eyes, slightly large, beautifully sculpted lips. These features are repeated from work to work; it seems that he has only one model, but it does not become boring. And if you place one of the women’s or children’s portraits, it will fit into any modern interior, especially a classic one. And although the appearance of young women fully corresponds to the canons adopted on the catwalks, their spiritual world is far from our everyday reality.
Eternal femininity
It blooms on the painter’s canvases. His palette is varied. He does not like dark colors, his works are light and gentle. They sing compliments to the beautiful, slightly mysterious girl he portrays. And she, beautiful in herself, becomes even better, revealing herself under the loving gaze of the painter. It is immediately clear that Konstantin Razumov loves his models. Tender pastel shades perfectly convey the sophistication of his portraits.
Sometimes, to create a different mood, he takes more bright colors: red, yellow, black. But the black color on his canvases is translucent, airy, and plays with different shades. As a rule, they depict feathers on hats or transparent stockings, which emphasize the grace of the legs. Even the black dresses on his canvases do not have a dull, mournful, closed look. Made from transparent fabric, they lightly envelop the delicate body, giving an airy look.
Artist's style
In Glazunov's workshop, Konstantin Razumov acquired classical drawing skills. He paints a completely realistic figure of a woman, but surrounds her with a light-air environment, akin to the one used by the impressionists. And it turns out quite well modern work, which corresponds to the spirit of the times.
Konstantin Razumov, artist: paintings
The woman in the paintings is always depicted alone at a cafe table. Most often it seems to happen in Paris. She is never accompanied by a companion. She just hasn't found it yet. You can’t just sit down with such a beauty and start a dirty conversation about the weather.
She needs to read poetry, you can discuss the latest fashion show or bestseller with her. She should be sent fresh bouquets every day, and she will thoughtfully arrange them in vases and read the enclosed business card. The young woman on the canvas is so airy that it seems that a gust of wind could carry her away. She almost always sits on the edge of a chair or armchair: another moment - and she will no longer be here.
This is a sweet vision from your dream, which was materialized by the painter’s brush.
