A special place in the work of S. N. Volodchenko occupy landscapes of the Crimea, natural images of family and friends. Seem unshakable mountain peaks, the eternal sea, reflecting tints of the sky, the green valleys, blooming gardens and people, as particles of this ancient beauty. For these works a distinctive emotional, lyrical and philosophical content. nature appears as a world of eternal truths, knowledge and beauty.

Creative works are notable for the subtle beauty of the picturesque building and poetry, convey the nuances of mood, characterized by a tendency to a static composition. It gives time for thinking visually, trying to stop the race of time in order to comprehend what he saw.

In the hustle and bustle of the cities, we are increasingly alienated from nature, the less we feel the need to communicate with her, cease to see it as an equal interlocutor.

Presents the monumental, pictorial and graphic works can be understood as lyrical and romantic journey into nature, where there is an opportunity to stop and think about something important, eludes us in the hectic days.
