Ivan Godlevsky

How to convey the beauty of the amazing city on the Neva? Who is capable of transferring all this onto a canvas? It would be overconfidence to say that I will be that artist, but at the same time it is not impossible. I will give it all the passion of my heart... This city is a miracle. But it must be painted not head-on, but through the prism of poetic perception.
