Evgeniy Logvinenko is an artist of wide creative interests, who worked in the field of thematic painting, including both historical and modern themes. He worked also in different genres, with a special inclination towards narrative painting. Themes and subjects of his works vary from real events of modern painting to mythological ones, from highly spiritual biblical compositions to creative works in “romantic grotesque” style. At the same time, we see he was free in the way he chose the dimensions of his compositions. He painted thematic painting as a monumental canvas and chose a manner of free and broad-brush strokes in accordance with its dimensions and artistic tasks. Among those, generally landscapes, the colouristic and compositional talent of the painter is revealed. In such works the Crimea takes an important place. In these miniatures the painter reached the effect of revelation and depth of the space, in which he usually populated the compositions with people that makes his works close to narrative paintings.
