Details
Signed lower right “М. Шиханов-Кублицкий.”
Mikhail Shikhanov-Kublitsky’s Venice View (2017) is a modern take on the eternal city through the lens of reflection, movement and architecture. Mixed media on canvas, the painting glimmers with turquoise, ochre and soft grey tones as canals, domes and bridges melt into abstraction.
Shikhanov-Kublitsky doesn’t translate Venice through linear perspective but through feeling and light. His brushwork and textured surfaces convey the transience of water and the permanence of stone, turning the familiar skyline into a living being – constantly changing, breathing and refracting colour.
In Venice View Shikhanov-Kublitsky reimagines the city as a symphony of atmosphere. It’s not a literal representation but an experience: a portrait of Venice’s soul where every brushstroke is an echo of history, memory and the artist’s gaze.

Mikhail Shikhanov-Kublitsky is a painter whose art bridges the academic discipline of the Russian school with the expressive freedom of modern plein-air painting. A graduate of the Repin Institute in St. Petersburg, he is a recipient of the Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Arts and the Medal of the Order “For Merit to the Fatherland” (2nd Class). A member of the Union of Artists of Russia and the Moscow Union of Artists, he has participated in the painting of six Orthodox churches — two of them original author projects — and was invited by the President of Malta to work on the decoration of the Russian Chapel at the San Anton Palace.
Having worked in more than forty countries, Shikhanov-Kublitsky paints directly from nature, following the Impressionist tradition while preserving a distinctly personal language of colour. His luminous compositions, often enriched with gold, silver, and copper leaf, transform light into a living substance — echoing both his spiritual background and his fascination with beauty as divine energy. His works are held in collections across Russia and Europe, reflecting a vision where faith, colour, and emotion merge into a radiant harmony of form.
