Igor Shulman Paintings

If anyone else doesn't know who Azrael is, I'll explain. In Eastern mythology, he's the angel of death. I've imagined what the angel of death might look like today. Apparently he l...

Women are completely different. It does not depend on whether they are good or evil. Dressed or undressed. Married or not. It depends on the degree of frankness of the woman. From th...

Sometimes it happens. Two random people met, but at first glance it is clear that this meeting is not accidental. And that this acquaintance will be continued. And about the relation...

I love plants. I love animals too, but plants are more defenseless. More dependent on the arbitrariness of people. I will try to convey all my love in this series. How long this project is tenacious, time will tell...

Sometimes it happens that we have a memory of a dream. Not the dream itself, but only impressions of it. Unclear feelings from something warm, or soft. General pleasantness and desir...

Turns out there's a breed of sheep that has white wool and a black head. It looks so stylish, I couldn't pass it up. Here he is, look at him. But of course it's not that simple and...

You will not believe! Again, my favorite retro.) This time on the topic of war. And it does not matter which war. The main thing here is not this. The main thing in emotion communica...

This picture is absolutely unambiguous for me. Mercy cannot be interpreted otherwise. Therefore, it is so simple to read. I intentionally simplified this. And also for those who fin...

I'm not going to sing a hymn to socks, although they certainly deserve it. Socks are not just an afterthought here. They're more than that. Socks act here as an independent, main cha...

You seem so grown up to yourself. And you act like an adult. You copy them in everything. Trying to become like them. You're doing pretty well. But the problem is that you don't see...

Attention action!!!!! As always at the end of the year I announce another 2+1 promotion. It means that any of you who will buy 2 paintings from me will get the third one as a gift. ...

This work is more about fatigue than erotica. Each of you must have experienced this. When you don’t even have the strength to take a shower before going to bed. And you do it auto...

This study is about the boundaries of anything. Boundaries of light and shadow, color boundaries. Boundaries of what's allowed. Boundaries of the unacceptable. Boundaries of beau...

(ATTENTION ACTION! If you order two paintings third you will get like a gift. The third painting I choose one from my artworks and put it in the package with your order. I hope this ...

The simple combination of color spots and familiar objects gives an amazing impression. It's all about your mood. Your vibe matches mine. Or not. But then you wouldn't be reading t...

News cannot be the same for everyone. For some, this is the most pleasant news in the world. For some, it's the opposite. For this fish, the news turned out to be the last resort. ...

This lovely girl looks very harmoniously surrounded by pigeons. The picture sounds very metaphorical. As a symbol of the resurgent China. As a symbol of tomorrow's freedom. And I do ...

(ATTENTION ACTION! If you order two paintings third you will get like a gift. The third painting I choose one from my artworks and put it in the package with your order. I hope this ...

Let everyone determine for himself what kind of city it is. In fact, it could be any city. You won't see anything geographically noteworthy in the picture. There is no indication of...

Once again, my favorite retro. I wonder why people are so lenient toward alcoholics. They're so quiet, inconspicuous, and peace-loving. What good are they? On the other hand, there'...

High in the sky, behind the clouds or within the clouds themselves, the muses live. They dance and sing all day long. They do everything to make their beloved feel good on Earth. The...

In this artwork, I aim to capture the idea that the past inevitably catches up with us, regardless of our efforts to control it. It can come to us unexpectedly, triggered by various ...

I already have a dog bride. Last time it was a bull terrier. Another tenderness, it's a pug. I have a pug, but she is a regular pale. You will see her in the video. I guess I don't picture my pug in my pictures often enough. As my wife never tires of reminding me. But sometimes I do paint her. It's always a pleasure. I just imagined that all of our pets...

The most unpleasant thing for me in this life is to wait. Any queue of people more than 3 people drives me into depression. If someone is late for a meeting, I worry about that perso...

First job this year. It's more of a holiday joke. I decided to do it in magenta color. And only because it's one of my favorite colors. And not because some clever guy declared magen...

It is that silence that occurs before the first note. The silence of anticipation. In a moment the hall will be filled with music. The whole place will burst into a firework of sound...

How do you talk on the phone? In what position? Does the topic of conversation and the interlocutor influence your position? Remember in the old movies, when a man spoke to his boss...

In fact, I like today's youth. And if I slightly troll this audience, it’s out of great sympathy. I love their extravagance, their quirks, their language of self-expression and se...

Have you ever felt this moment? When the last note has already sounded, but the audience is still silent. They are still listening by inertia. They have not yet realized that they ne...

In fact, this is my refreshed and corrected work. I did it about 3 years ago. To me she seemed dull and faded. I tried to give her a little life. As flav...

I drew a lot of falling people, but this is something else. My people don't fall, they float. Modern physicists say that God is gravity. This is the only force that keeps our world ...

Usually this color scheme matches the glamor. But in the glamorous atmosphere, everything is OK. Doubt or reflection is not allowed. But have you noticed the concern and doubt in the...

You have to understand one simple thing. almost everyone has a wife. Even the pathologists, cops and stokers. This sad inevitability led me to one sad thought. I think that every wi...

Project "Photos from a trash bin". # 1 I have always been attracted by spoiled pictures. What is called a technical defect. Something that definitely flies into the trash. In fact,...

Something I was again carried away by undressed women. As an image object. I used to draw a lot of them, then I interrupted not for long. I thought that this old age crept on soft p...

I've never done a self-portrait. Not because I'm some kind of freak or I do not like myself. I absolutely normal person. I love me. But drawing a self-portrait does not seem to me a ...

This picture may seem challenging. Someone even offensive. Believe me, I didn't mean anything wrong. It's just my view of today's illustration. This is my view today on Shakespeare...

My parents never had such a car. They don't even look like my parents at all. It is rather a metaphor. Parents in general. People from another world. These are those who are no lon...

On the one hand parting is always a sad story. On the other hand, it is always a new opportunity. Ability to close one page and open a new one. The opportunity to leave everything th...

This is the simplest and lightest still life of this whole project. What can I tell you when the content is so obvious. I didn't use any complicated stitched up metaphors. There ar...

An unremarkable Mediterranean courtyard. Life seems to have stopped here 100 years ago. The same thing happens every day. Every day, day after day. One generation succeeds another an...

It always comes to everything. It's a given that we can't influence. But we can rethink it. To treat it as a positive event, and maybe the most important one. Just by the example of...

There is a special charm in spring, but still the most charming month of spring is April. It's not just new smells and sounds. April is also an amazing atmosphere of transparency and...

Have you realized why I made this sketch? Why do artists even do preliminary sketches? And why do they need them and in what quality can they be exhibited or sold? Very funny ques...

As you can well understand, this sketch is not about soup. It is an allegory of something unpleasant, undesirable. It's a study about mood. This girl's emotions. Do you remember whe...

I recently came across an interesting aphorism. It sounds French in the original. And it sounds delightful. Don't say how many years you've lived, say what you've lived for. It rea...

Sometimes it happens. you see a person and immediately realize they're from another planet. Maybe not literally, but mentally. The person is living in a parallel reality. And he doe...

You think it started 500 years ago? You're partly right. But the real exploration began, in my opinion, in the late 1940s. That's when the great event happened. America started movin...

I already have 2 works with the same title. But they are about something else. But what is this line about? The same thing it's always been about. The line between the real and the ...

The Limits of Pleasure. Do you think they even exist? Limiting yourself is simple, a matter of motivation. But limiting one's own pleasure, one's own joy, is not very easy. I'm fa...

What do you think is stronger than physics or metaphysics? Is it possible only by the force of one's conviction to refute the force of gravity? In my opinion, yes. The inner streng...

In my long professional life I have had hundreds of contacts with women. They were professional models or ordinary women. Many of them posed for my paintings. Partially naked or nake...

This picture is all about the mood. Everything revolves around it. The unusual coloring, the assemblage creates a state of tension. For me it is almost minimalism. A monochrome stor...

As you have already guessed, it's retro again. It's the old man's snot again. What am I supposed to do with this? Old people are always drawn to the past, to their youth. I don't th...

Wings, like hands, feet, or ears, are perceived by us as a pair. Inexistent without each other. I thought exactly the same until I read the beautiful parable of the wing. I won't qu...

I thought for a long time about what to call this still life. I want to paint it more and more. Old, forgotten things. No one wants them anymore. Their appearance amuses and surpris...

The project is progressing, and based on the positive feedback and engagement received, it seems to have generated significant interest among the audience. As a result, I am delighte...

It seems to you that this work is about a naked woman. It is not right. This is a work about light. About twilight incomplete light. About how this light affects the body. About what...

I continue a series of my abstractions. The series is partially geometric, but I can not do anything about it yet. From the name you probably managed to understand that this work tu...

Whatever it is called, but this subject is known to most of the inhabitants of our world. This is exactly the same crown. The main crown of the British Empire. It is adorned with th...
