Like #Pavel Fedotov, #Averin's favourite painter, he works outside in the air, using surroundings to inspire the brush and compliment the work. The main theme of Alexander Averin’s painting are #genre scenes with charming Russian young ladies against blossoming meadows and gardens, shady river coasts, and sea landscapes. Plot of the paintings is filled with sincere warmth and cordial feelings towards# children. We can feel cool breath of Baltic sea, transparency of air and careless mood of children playing at coast on the paintings of the artist. We admire tame meadow colors on the bank of unknown lake and undercover places in the shadow of coastal trees. Portraits of ladies in air dresses and figures of suntanned boys underline beauty of the surrounding nature, whether it is seacoast or small rivers, or a blossoming meadow. We can tell that “... A masterful combination of a portrait and a landscape in style “impression“ is distinguishing feature of talent of the artist Alexander Averin“.
