The Painting as Reflection.
I paint this picture with one goal: to transmit positive emotions, so that the dog waits for me and greets me. And this is its meaning. This is the goal and the play. When I invest my reflections, my emotions into the painting – be sure that they will be captured inside the canvas.
If you intend to paint a picture, there is a certain meaning in painting a picture. Next, you need to ask yourself the following question: what do I want to depict? What will the painting be about? And I again turn to my vague desires.

Sacred Painting of the Soviet Era.
The painting "Angel in the USSR" is like an icon of the Russian world, imbued with Rus, prayer, faith in miracles, the disarray of life, Russian optimism, and belief. The angel in the painting comes to a Russian peasant to listen to the music of the harmonica. The artist infused such a strength of faith that the angel in the painting radiates holiness, the divine warmth of Russian Orthodoxy, compassion, and love.
... and then... I stood behind the canvas (like in ancient Russian icons, with their sincerity, reverse perspective, and desire to help)...
- Anatoli Gostev
The History of the Painting.
Artist Anatoli Gostev began the painting in 1994 and took it with him into immigration in 1997. However, he did not continue to work on it, as if preserving it like an icon. The small canvas, measuring 30x35 centimeters, with a style atypical for him, appeared in his European studio half a year before his death, in 2021. It disappeared again, as if unwilling to be included in the catalog of his legacy. The painting was found in October 2024, almost three years after the artist's death.
Signature and Value.
The painting is signed on the back of the canvas with the artist's logo and date - AG 94 (Anatoli Gostev 1994). The painting "Angel in the USSR" has not participated in exhibitions. There is a high probability that the works of Anatoli Gostev will increase in value by more than 1000%. The recommended prices for Gostev's paintings start from 100,000 USD.
Ownership:
The only original painting "Angel in the USSR" by Anatoli Gostev is in the private ownership of the Gostev dynasty.

Marc Chagall could understand.
Sleeping houses and fences - simple and eternal structures, covered with night snow, and beyond, no one, only the moon glides above the horizon.
Chagall could understand what this violinist is thinking – listening to him play the violin. Does it matter if it's good or bad!
You can only touch the violin with the bow and listen to the unplayed. The violinist plays... I smile, touching his violin with the brush, poking him with the palette knife in the hat or right in the nose.
The violinist plays...
The moon freezes in the night sky, and the coolness of the night flows into my slightly open mouth.

Impression of the painting.
The painting "Lemons" was created by Renata Gostev, the granddaughter of the artist Anatoly Gostev, and a third-generation artist continuing the family's creative legacy. The oil painting is a surprising creative experiment. Renata is known for her attention to detail, combining watercolor techniques with ink in her work. "Lemons" is executed with expression, in a well-chosen narrow color palette, and features a balanced composition. The painting is beautifully, skillfully, and calmly done.
Capture emotion on canvas.
The kitsch typical of the 21st century has clearly bypassed this young artist, who has been developing her artistic taste and mastering her craft from an early age. This is her first oil painting, and it is undoubtedly successful, standing out as not just a beautiful and technically proficient still life, but as a work that seems to convey the freshness of the lemons depicted. One hallmark of talented artists is their ability to "capture emotion on canvas," and Renata Gostev has brilliantly achieved this, which defines her as an artist.
Value of the Painting:
We cannot precisely determine the extent to which this painting can be regarded as an investment piece or from what perspective. However, we attribute much greater value to it than to overhyped canvases doused in paint from a bucket, claiming to be abstract or trendily modern art. We believe that if an artist infuses a canvas with emotional significance, it holds value. The hint of lemons felt in this work is what truly matters.
Time, contemplation of the painting, and inherent talent merit a starting auction price of €3,000.Rovinj2024-09-11T07:12:00+01:002024-09-11T07:12:00+01:00/en/auctions/viewbids/23/rovinj

Impression of the painting.
The painting "Rovinj" was created by Anatoli Gostev in 2019. It is a reminiscence of Croatia and an interpretation of the artist's work since 2012. The painting is divided into three planes. The foreground and background frame the main subject—the exotic trees of Croatia. The composition is arranged "slowly" from left to right, as if climbing a hill. Details in the painting delay this movement, creating a sense of leisure so characteristic of the Balkan region. The muted pastel tones emphasize the sunny, hot vacation season when everything is governed by the main word in the Balkans—Polako. This translates to "slowly and calmly."
It must be beautiful.
It is important to note the main feature of Gostev's painting — he always worked thoughtfully, considering the painting from the perspective of the primary criterion: it must be beautiful. In each of his works, one can feel the energy of the desire to create something beautiful. This energy is undeniably conveyed to the viewer, and the artist's paintings fill the space with the thought of beauty. This is the essence of painting.
Value of the Painting:
The painting is positioned as investment art. It should be understood that the artist Anatoly Gostev (1946–2022) will create no more works, and each of his paintings is unique, defined by a special style that he developed throughout his life dedicated to painting.
A piece of art can be a highly promising investment, also due to being an investment in the emotional and contemplative nature of a masterpiece. Additionally, with a high degree of probability, Anatoli Gostev's paintings will increase in value by more than 1000%.

Impression of the painting.
The watercolor "Old Church" was painted in 2006 in the Czech Republic by Anatoli Gostev Jr. The painting speaks of faith in a country that has lost its religious values. The Czech Republic is known for its numerous ancient castles, as well as its atheistic beliefs. The woman in the painting, with deep faith, searches for a church but finds only old, empty castles or abandoned, closed churches no longer needed. The world of double standards is highlighted by the depiction of two suns.
Symbol of faith.
The woman's symbol of faith is emphasized by the red color of her clothing and the abstract structure behind her, which seems to follow her in search of a place for prayer. A small woman with immense faith in a country of atheism, castles, and abandoned churches.
Value of the Painting:
Watercolor is the most challenging painting technique due to the limited possibilities for corrections. When working with watercolor, the artist must clearly understand the entire concept of the painting in advance, as the application of paint must be precisely calculated on the first attempt. This watercolor is created on high-quality paper by the "Arches" brand. It is one of the most successful and non-trivial watercolors by the heir of the Gostev dynasty, Anatoli Gostev Jr.
Investing in a piece of art that you like is always a winning move. Price growth for the painting: a guaranteed increase in the owner's price by 10% per year.

The creation of the painting "Still Life by Freud" was completed by Anatoli Gostev in 2009, when the artist's painting was increasingly approaching the brink of defining his style.
Impression of the painting. The frank sexual subtext in the visual associations creates a strange duality in the perception of the painting "Still Life by Freud" (Still Life According to Freud). A magnificent, stylish combination of watercolor and pastel techniques. "Still Life According to Freud" will amaze the owner with its desire for stability of unstable objects. It's all like in life and life itself. The artist Anatoly Gostev, with his unique style, belongs to the era of true people, passionate about creative exploration. The process of creating painting through the prism of thinking and feelings played the greatest meaning in Anatoli Gostev's life.
Participation in exhibitions: In 2021, the painting "Still Life by Freud" was featured at the ART Climate Change exhibition, Novum Investments in Switzerland, Basel. Anatoli Gostev participated as a special honorary guest.

The painting process was leisurely, and reflections on the simple beauty of the world clearly gave the artist pleasure.
The painting achieves the perfect balance of simplification without falling into uncontrolled abstraction. The landscape on the canvas creates the impression of "nothing superfluous," tempting with its vastness and simplicity. Looking at the painting, one feels compelled to walk to the line of mountains with the assurance that they won't encounter anyone along the way. Only later, in the distance, by the lake, will they meet the person they were leisurely walking towards across the emerald meadows.
The genius simplicity of form and color palette make it one of the best paintings by an artist who belongs to the vanishing era of true artistry. For Anatoli Gostev, the process of creating art through the prism of reflection and feeling had the greatest significance in life. He was a unique artist with an unparalleled style of depicting nature and objects in a simple manner.
The painting "Two Ships" is certainly a symbol of love and mutual support. Two ships, raising storm flags, confront the elements while clinging to each other. The artist Anatoli Gostev completed the painting "Two Ships" in 2021

The painting was inspired by the everyday life of people who come home after a hard day's work and, huddling together, share their impressions. The evening conversation of river boats snaking through the canals of a colorful city about the cargo transported during the day and the distances covered.
