Theme for a painting and fauvism Inspired by Jim Jarmusch
The painting depicts a city that the artist Anatoli Gostev Jr. has never visited — Tangier. The painting of this North African city was inspired by Jim Jarmusch’s film Only Lovers Left Alive, where events unfold at night in Tangier.
This is an amazing reflection on impartiality toward place, object, and narrative in painting — offering freedom to create one's own path through fauvism, composition, and vivid emotional expression on canvas. The figure in the painting moves against the flow, and the artist lovingly thinks of his half-sister living near Tangier — she stops, turns to the viewer, and tries to say something to them.
Artistic Impression
This painting depicts a city I have never visited — Tangier. I've been many places, but somehow always missed Tangier. Yet this gives me an advantage: because I’ve never been to Tangier, I carry no preconceived notions about it.

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.
I began painting this picture in 2017, thought about it, and continued in 2021. I’m not in a hurry and I can paint it for another ten years if I want to. When I feel it. Maybe I will finish the painting in two days, or maybe in twenty years. Or in the next one hundred and fifty years.
Artistic Impression
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.

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 softness of the linoleum printing form is a drawback of linocut technique: even with slight pressure from a hand printing press, the linoleum slightly deforms. Therefore, large print runs in linocut are impossible. This drawback defined the limited series of linocuts "Thirteenth Christmas". Each linocut is unique because linoleum, unlike solid wood, is soft and malleable, making each impression unique. Additionally, handmade paper was used for each impression, with each sheet having an individual structure, color, composition, and thickness. Typography ink.
