Nikolai Stepanovich (Nikas) Safronov (Russian: Ни́колай Степа́нович (Никас) Сафро́нов) is a Soviet and contemporary Russian artist and teacher, the founder of the school of painting in Moscow. He works in different genres, directions and styles and invents new formats in art. Safronov is sometimes called the "Russian Salvador Dali" for his outrage and love of experimentation.
Nikas Safronov is known as the author of psychological portraits of famous politicians, actors, pop stars. In a number of his paintings modern personalities turn into heroes of ancient works. Safronov's animalistic works, depicting half-cats, half-dogs and other representatives of fauna with human features, are also widely known.
Safronov created his own special direction in the fine arts - Dream Vision. It is a synthesis of classical painting and subconscious feelings, visions of the artist, in which it is difficult to catch the boundary between reality and fantasy. Some paintings are reminiscent of Impressionist works: the blurred details make up a coherent impression.
Pyotr Tarasovych Maltsev (Russian: Пётр Тарасович Мальцев) was a distinguished Soviet artist, celebrated for his mastery in socialist realism. Born on December 17, 1907, in Mariupol, Maltsev carved a niche for himself in the art world through his profound works that often depicted the valor and spirit of the Soviet people during significant historical events. His art education was rooted in the traditions of the Zaporozhe Art School and further honed at the VKhUTEIN, under the guidance of notable Soviet artists such as P.V. Kuznetsov and V.A. Favorsky.
Maltsev's oeuvre includes a plethora of works ranging from paintings and posters to monumental dioramas, with notable pieces like “The Storm of Sapun Ridge,” which vividly captures the intensity of the Battle of Sevastopol. His art, imbued with the ethos of socialist realism, strives to embody the heroism and resilience of the Soviet populace amidst the trials of war and the pursuit of socialism.
His contributions to Soviet art were not only recognized by his contemporaries but continue to be revered today, with many of his works being housed in prestigious institutions such as the State Tretyakov Gallery and the Central Naval Museum. Maltsev's legacy extends beyond the canvas, encapsulating the spirit of an era and continuing to inspire generations. His passing on October 5, 1993, marked the end of a remarkable chapter in Soviet art history, but his works live on, offering a window into the Soviet soul and its indomitable will.
