Artist Vladimir Vladimirovich Maslov was born in 1934 on the Volga, spent his childhood under the ancient city Calesini. In my youth I had to work as a fireman, a painter, a graphic designer. And even earlier - do-for-sale rugs and piggy banks. From early childhood all associated with painting - brushes, paints, pencils, excited his admiration. In native peasant edge it seemed odd to me, and the artist was trying to get away from prying eyes - in fields, in woods. Since then, Nature has become an integral part of his life and art.

In 1970 landscapes Maslova were presented at the exhibition for the 100th anniversary of Lenin, the author received the diploma of the Union of artists of the USSR, and two years later there was a tragedy - all of his paintings were lost, and the astonished artist for many years and left the painting. To return to it helped the artist-painter Canons. It was then that the Maslov replaced the brush on the palette knife, tool, according to the author, is able to convey the drama of his attitude.

Vladimir Maslov - artist-nugget. His work is located at the junction of high professionalism and folklore. The texture of his paintings are extremely bold, and poetics - realistic and does not extend beyond the traditional genres: portrait, landscape, still life. He writes in an expressive manner, the space of his paintings are filled with spots of light and shadow that transmit sensations of the elements - air, water, fire, earth, and glowing sharp lines, applied with a palette knife, making the plot of the drama and tension.

Almost half a century Maslov lives in the village of the White town on the Volga river, some 150 kilometers from Moscow. The proximity to the aorta Russia, the Volga, affected his deep understanding, an intuitive feeling for the fate of Russia and of human nature; no wonder the artist's house is just thirty metres from the river. Simple plot paintings - Bank "Russian Nile, Volga pine trees, haystacks in the snow, the streets of his native village - contains subtle spiritual component.

Many prominent figures of Russia and Europe have his paintings in their collections. Among them, the Russian President, Prime Ministers, diplomats, prominent artists. Works are in the collections of museums and private collections of Russia, Belarus, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Israel, the USA, Finland, France, Poland, etc.
