"On the Bridge" is a captivating watercolor painting that presents a mesmerizing winter cityscape illuminated by the ethereal glow of the night. The artwork transports the viewer into a tranquil world of monochromatic beauty, skillfully rendered in delicate strokes of black and white. The focal point of the painting is a bridge, standing proudly in the foreground, stretching across a gently flowing river. Its architectural details are subtly captured, evoking a sense of strength and grace. A sense of mystery envelops the scene as dark silhouettes of people traverse the bridge, their forms blending seamlessly into the night. They become anonymous figures, mere shadows against the backdrop, adding a touch of intrigue to the composition. The backdrop reveals a charming winter cityscape, its delicate details captured with finesse. The artist's masterful brushwork portrays a cluster of houses nestled in the distance. The buildings are partially obscured by a light veil of snow, conveying the coldness and serenity of the winter season. Each stroke conveys a sense of depth and texture, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the scene and feel the crispness of the air. The absence of color in this watercolor painting enhances its evocative power. The contrast between the stark black and the pure white imbues the artwork with a sense of contrast and drama. The play of light and shadow creates a captivating interplay between the illuminated areas and the mysterious darkness. It is as if the artist has skillfully captured the silence and stillness that descends upon the city at night, inviting contemplation and reflection. "On the Bridge" is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a winter cityscape. The monochromatic palette, the intricate details, and the interplay of light and shadow all come together to create a captivating and atmospheric scene. This watercolor painting transports the viewer to a serene and poetic world, where one can almost feel the hushed whispers of the snow-covered city.

About the artists: Alexander Arkadievich Litvinov was born on May 18, 1967 in the city of Lubny. He graduated from the Lubensk secondary school № 1. One of his favorite lessons was drawing. I was even more attracted by studies at an art school, where boys and girls were introduced to high art thanks to the wise teachers Vasily Semenyuta, Anatoly Kharchuk, Nikolai Korablev, Tamara Moshnikoviy. Especially in his artistic development, Alexander owes to Vasily Ivanovich Semenyuta, his classical school of teaching, which he enriched in his time through his acquaintance with famous artists Alexei Asaulenko and Petr Likhin. And also an extremely important role in the passion for painting was played by the fact that Alexander's father, Arkady Petrovich Litvinov, was both a talented artist and an excellent teacher. He had 53 years of teaching experience - he taught drawing and drawing at the Lubensk school №8, many of his students connected their professions with artistic creativity. Alexander's elder brother, Oleg Arkadyevich Litvinov, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, now lives in Odessa, also chose the artistic path.

And after leaving school, Alexander served in the army, where his artistic talent came in handy - in Soviet times, visual agitation was highly valued. He served in Dnepropetrovsk, where two personal exhibitions of his paintings were organized. While still at school, Alexander began to design books, in particular, children's literature. He received his first creative fee in the tenth grade from the publishing house "Raduga" for the design of the book by Anatoly Rybakov "Krosh's Vacation". Later she studied at the Odessa Theater and Art School, specializing in "Decoration of puppet shows and artistic and props art."

Studying at the school and passion from childhood with historical and biblical literature greatly influenced the creative manner of the artist. He works in the style of the so-called figurative art, where the main thing is the image of the human body.
