It is easy to find in Russian born artist Anton Arkhipov paintings and sculpture the child in his soul, the thinker in his mind, and the master craftsman in his hands. Anton, through his paintings and sculpture, captures our smiles, thoughts, and imagination, in an artistic world full of joy and happiness, a world in pursuit of dreams, aspirations, goals, and leisure. His paintings are a powerful reminder of the way life should be embraced and enjoyed, in a fragile world where life is all too often taken for granted. To experience his vision is to experience images of a world at play, evoking a feeling and a longing of a much simpler time, where romance, play and leisure can flourish, in an eat, drink and be merry approach to the joy of living that will charm people of all ages.
