Primitivism as an artistic technique brings Sergei Volkov with such recognized masters as primitive GENERALIC Ivan from Croatia, can be seen here and other analogies. The originality of the artist in his relation to the selected motifs. Each of them he admires, to each of the characters feels genuine sympathy. It seems he is somewhere here in the pictures: is about to come out of the corner candy store at the gates of Kropotkin, buy a kitten on Kalitnikovskom market, climb onto the roof to dump snow. The artist often chooses the highest point of view, but never looks down on the town. He loves this city, exploring, sometimes impresses with documentary precision. And love to Moscow passed to all who view the works of Sergei Volkov, so his work always resonates in the hearts of viewers.
