Born on 20.08.1982 in Syktyvkar, Rep. Komi, Evgeny has a higher education. Over the past 10 years, he has repeatedly participated in various exhibitions within his country. He has held about 10 solo exhibitions. Many works have been acquired by private collections in Russia as well as in other countries. Evgeny is a member of the professional union of artists of Russia.
The core themes of Evgeny Burtsev’s artistic practice include landscape, urban landscape, and still life. The artist maintains a continuous process of observation and visual research. His work is rooted in Impressionism, interpreted through contemporary artistic language. Evgeny’s painting is grounded in direct sensory perception of reality and functions as a means of engaging with the surrounding environment.
In his works, the artist emphasizes the materiality and objecthood of the depicted forms while simultaneously preserving their emotional charge. These elements constitute the primary focus of his artistic inquiry. The painterly strategies employed by Evgeny aim to convey the emotional intensity of the subject matter without emphasizing structural precision or detailed rendering. Instead, the artist leans toward formal generalization and expressive exaggeration, distilling the image to its essential compositional and semantic elements.
A pronounced use of impasto plays a significant role in Evgeny’s visual language, highlighting the plastic qualities and tactile surface of the paint. The brushstroke itself often becomes an autonomous component of the composition, contributing to its rhythmic organization. Improvisation—particularly in color—serves as a key principle in the artist’s working method.
These concerns are most fully realized in his urban landscapes, as well as in still lifes and plein-air works. Of particular note are the abstract compositions produced in recent years, which reflect a sustained analytical engagement with visual form. Evgeny Burtsev’s painting may be understood as a process of reflective investigation into the nature of reality and the formal properties of pictorial representation.
