Artist Vladimir Maslov was born in 1934 on the Volga River, spent his childhood under the old town Kalyazin. As a teenager, had to work as a stoker, a house painter, a painter and decorator. And even earlier - to make mats for sale and piggy banks. From early childhood, everything connected with the painting - brushes, paints, even simple pencils - caused him joy. In the native peasant edge of this seemed very peculiar, and the artist tried to take away from prying eyes - in the field, in the woods.

Vladimir Maslov - artist-nugget. His work is at the junction of high professionalism and folklore. The texture of his paintings unusually bold and poetics - is realistic and does not go beyond the traditional genres: portrait, landscape, still life. He wrote in an expressive manner, the space of his canvases filled with patches of light and shadow, sensiferous elements - air, water, fire, earth, and the luminous sharp lines caused a palette knife, make a plot of the drama and tension.

The proximity to the aorta, Russia, the Volga, the impact on his understanding, the intuitive feeling of Russia's fate and human nature, no wonder the artist's house is only thirty meters from the River. A simple plot of paintings - the banks of the Russian Nile, Volga pine, haystacks in the snow, the streets of his native town - contains the subtle spiritual component.
