Vladimir Zenin is representative of the Petersburg monumental and easel painting. In his works the artist explores, synthesizes and develops the experience of Russian monumental and easel painting. The plot is a historical event, religious parables, and ethnic motifs. In the projects of the artist coexist different cultures - Russian, Syrian, Greek, etc, the visible project "Rostov Land - the birthplace of St. Sergius" dedicated to the life of one of the spiritual leaders of the Russian state Sergius of Radonezh. The main motive of the works are the historical path of Orthodoxy in the Russian land. Examining the stories of the life of St. Sergius of Radonezh, the artist reinvents art-rooted tradition of the iconographic image of the "lives of saints". Important to artist is the idea of narrative about the nature of Holiness and godliness, through the native land. That is why Rostov the Great is becoming a major stage on which to unfold the main events of the life of St. Sergius. Motherland is not only a familiar word, but it is also what teaches and gives person the main guidelines and values, shapes the way of life. In this harmony of life of Russian people in their native land, the author sees the basic sources of Russian Holiness, of religious asceticism, those origins, which played a huge role in the acquisition of national identity. In constant labour and prayer was the life of St. Sergius, the Holy one, has made a lot of miracles. In contrast, modern consumer society, the artist muses about the idea of creation and the refusal of desire only to consume, without giving anything in return.
Another relatively recent and important project artist Vladimir Zenin - making activities of the Hermitage "Palmyra breathing new life", dedicated to the legacy of Palmyra. Here the main protagonist has become the mythology of ancient Palmyra, with its unique blend of cultures - the city, which was located at the crossroad of great civilizations.
In addition to painting the artist also does a lot of graphics and vector graphics, ceramics, and book and illustration.
