Reznicenko Nikolay Grigorievich was born in 1958 in the Saratov region, the village of Yershov. After finishing school in the city of Slavyansk-on-Kuban, he entered the naval school of the city of Kerch, followed by military service (city of Kyiv), then studying at the art school of the city of Krasnodar. In Kostomuksha (Karelia), where Nikolay lived since 1982, he worked at a construction site, later taught painting and graphics in an art circle. There in Karelia (1986) the first large exhibition was held, its success determined the participation of the artist's works in many subsequent exhibitions, the practice of icon restoration had a great influence on his painting. Since 1989 he lives and works in St. Petersburg.
The artist's works are in private collections in Russia, Kazakhstan, Germany, Great Britain, France, Switzerland and the USA.
The artist's mastery is demonstrated in his unique ability to convey profound meaning through surprisingly simple forms and a minimalist approach in a very special perspective. Each line and form used in his works serves not only as an element of the composition, but also as a carrier of exceptional emotional and semantic load, subtly conveying simple figurative meanings.
The artist's unusually attractive style seems to echo with the truth. It incorporates the experience of restoring Orthodox icons and the traditions of Eastern Christian painting, showing how gracefully one can display feelings and inner experiences without unnecessary details. The special color palette used by the artist gives the works warmth, lightness and creates an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility.
Such a desire for simplicity of forms can be perceived as a return to the basics of artistic expression, where the emphasis is on the inner content, and not on ostentatious complexity, reflecting the fundamental aspirations of a person to seek happiness in its various manifestations. This skill allows the viewer to delve into the work, finding their own interpretations and symbols, which makes each of Nikolai's works truly unique.
