Hi Barbara!
Indrikov describes his work as fantastic realism which is a style of painting that developed in Vienna in the late 1940s. These paintings were often literary and anecdotal and depicted a fairy-tale world of fantasy and imagination with minute detail.
I see many influences in Indrikov’s paintings including, Art Nouveau, Medieval/Byzantine, and Surrealism to name a few.
His work is amazing. I love the musical inspirations. Also the intricate and delicate textures that he uses. He must have incredible patience to go with that sense of whimsical wonder in creating those elegant lyrical characters.
