"His art resonates with the language of the French modernism that one can most evidently see in his portraits"
In order to write about Fedor Elizarov's art one should turn to shortened hexameter as it was done in the classic translation of "Iliad" by Nikolay Gnedich or in the interpretations of Horace's odes by Afanasiy Fet. Huge canvases, which are sometimes difficult to be sweeped at a glance, are bringing back the pathos and spirit of the historical painting. However Fedor Elizarov is not a history painter. In 2005 he graduated from the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I.Surikov, Studio of Scenic and Decorative Painting supervised by M. Kurilko-Ryumin. In should be mentioned that the theme of his final project was the "Demon" opera by Anton Rubinstein. This signified the young artist's interest to the art of the turn of the 19th century.
