The entire spectrum bursts onto canvas with an astounding physical presence in the paintings of Slava Ilyayev. A virtuoso with the palette knife, Ilyayev is our living heir to the vibrant tradition of Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and the Fauve artists they inspired. Like all of them, he unleashes color and the textural potential of the paint itself in the service of a vision of nature that radiates light, warmth and energy. The seasons in all their chromatic glory come to life in his landscapes.
Ilyayev’s unique world view comes from his origins in a remote region where Europe and Asia intersect. Born on May 11, 1970 in Baku, Azerbaijan (an important city in the former U.S.S.R. that is an ancient outpost on the Silk Road between Beijing and Venice), he mastered his trade at the local college of arts. He made the dramatic decision to emigrate to Israel in 1995, completing his studies at the renowned Avni Institute of Art and Design in Tel Aviv.
