Mikhail Shikhanov-Kublitsky’s art is all about reverence and glow. Painted en plein air, the building becomes a living colour symphony — the red walls of the Kremlin against the pale sky, the stone dissolves into air. Each stroke is immediate and intuitive. The painter’s impasto is confident and rhythmic, not about form but about movement and emotion. Gold undertones in the palette are about sacred light — a theme that goes back to his icon and church mural painting days. In this piece realism gives way to transcendence: the Spasskaya Tower is not just a landmark but a symbol of continuity and faith. Through colour and light on the surface Shikhanov-Kublitsky captures not only the physical beauty of the Kremlin but the soul of Russia.
