Vyacheslav Mikhailov has his own unique visual language. His painting is close to sculpture due to the uplifted, lumpy relief of the canvas, filled with heavy gesso. Some canvases are distinguished by an almost monochrome sparingness of color, where color appears like a jewel; in others, the precisely found color dominates and takes on the fullness of its sound. The range of subjects is great: biblical motifs and genre scenes, abstract and complex multi-figure compositions.
