"Inna Churikova through the eyes of a Ryazan artist.
Recently, Alexey Akindinov finished a large-scale painting dedicated to Inna Churikova and presented it to his beloved actress.
The completion of work on the painting coincided with the 75th anniversary of the People's Artist of the USSR. Inna Churikova and her husband, film director, People's Artist of the RSFSR Gleb Panfilov highly appreciated the work of the Ryazan artist.
In the plot of the picture, Alexey Akindinov used the images of Inna Churikova from the feature film "The Beginning" of 1970, where she played the role of Pasha Stroganova, who was invited to play the main role in the film about Jeanne d'Arc. The director of the film and the director of the film is the husband of Inna Churikova Gleb Panfilov.
The plot also reflects the recent role of Inna Churikova in the play "The Audience", which premiered at the "Theater of Nations" in April 2017. In the play based on the play by British playwright and screenwriter Peter Morgan, she plays Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain. The main director of the play is also Gleb Panfilov.
Alexey Akindinov's work on the canvas lasted about a year. The painting process in oil on canvas was preceded by a voluminous work on the study of the material, the creation of sketches and pencil sketches. The painting is executed in the style created by Alexey Akindinov - ornamentalism.
The entire surface of the plot is as if woven from tens of thousands of ornaments drawn by hand with a brush. The staircase in the work personifies the life path of the ascent of the actress, which is full of her acting heroism and talent.
Inna Churikova and Gleb Panfilov gladly accepted and were very pleased with such a unique gift from Ryazan.
