\"Color - this is one\'s attitude to life and world where he lives. Color is an image.\" - such a philosophy Vladimir Vasilievich Lyhonosov follows in his art.
Vladimir has been painting since 8 and he has been exhibiting his paintings since 1960.
As his favorite picture the artist names \"Boats\". According to the artist the color agrees with the images painted on it.
The topics this artist has chosen to depict are history, everyday life, lyricism, romance. He works in the genres of easel drawing, book design, landscape, still life, portrait.
The artist has two sons. The younger one is an artist as well.
Vladimir\'s dream is \"by using colors tell about shapes of things, people, animals, about state of nature, about everything in space\".
