A fragment of an article about the work of Alexei Akindinov:
"The author himself in an exclusive interview with" Hometown "told the story of the emergence of his mysterious style. Ornamentalism originated in the Ryazan outback.
“As a child, I spent the winter holidays in the countryside,” the artist said. - Once, having rolled down a hill, I saw a strange ring of black stone in the snow. On it was a green ornament. I took the ring in my hands, but I don’t know where it later disappeared. The following year the same story repeated. Once again, rolling down the hill, I saw the same ring, but the pattern on it was white. Do not believe it: a year later, at the foot of the same hill, a familiar ring awaited me. This time with a yellow ornament.
This mysterious story made a strong impression on children's consciousness and, probably, laid the foundation for the original style of Alexey Akindinov. The artist admitted that in memory of the amazing ring he wears a signet with black stone and ornament. This is a symbol of good luck. "
