SEVASTIANOV VIKTOR
Ukraine
Odessa - (1923-1993)

Is admitted in 1945 to the School of Arts of Odessa as a free student.

Art critics are inclined to consider him impressionist, although he tried out in different genres.
It is in the landscapes that his very fine individual vision and his particular perception of color have manifested themselves. The lyrical and romantic paintings of the artist are either silent and pensive, or gently upset, but always deeply sincere. Each of his landscapes reflects a certain state of mind: fine lyrical proportions tonal blue-gray, gray-green, whose range of colors gives the feeling of harmony, calm, reluctance, and the expression of bright red, green, yellow that express the action, the awakening.
V. Sevastianov was an extremely modest man. A large part of his paintings has no signature and no title. He never thought that his works would see the world. Since in Soviet times deviations from the Communist Party line in art or free thought were forbidden and severely punished. There was no place for creative research in this totalitarian system without soul, and Impressionism was totally excluded as a harmful manifestation of bourgeois culture. This is precisely what makes the works of the painter all the more important and interesting for us today.

TESTIMONY OF HIS DAUGHTER LARISSA
His daughter Larissa remembers the painter Victor Sevastyanov, "He was very fond of drawing from nature. 'I don't fall asleep until I make three sketches,' he said. Light, bright colors predominated in the father's paintings. Art critics tend to consider him impressionistic, although he dabbled in different genres.
