Criticism

When I first saw the painting Timur Iskhakova in Moscow in 1992, I ran without a doubt a very strong image ... Once in London, his work immediately captured the imagination of a Western audience, hungry for identity, while intellectual creativity, rich mysteriously. The foundation of his work is elegant, meticulous design, based on the accurate transmission of human proportions. Amazing mystical figure, characteristic way elongated, inhabit a timeless world, combining Gothic structure with biblical, mythological and pagan symbols. The result is a combination of spiritual intensity of ancient icons and bright pictorial immediacy.
As beautiful and the most fantastic illustrations of children's fairy tales, these pictures will survive because they are simply "plant" the imagination.
