Mikhail Shikhanov-Kublitsky’s Church in Sunlight (2016) is a quiet moment — where architecture, light and spirit meet. Oil on canvas. A sunlit church against a blue sky. Walls in gold and pale pink that melt into the air.
Shekhanov’s brushwork is fluid but controlled, capturing the rhythm of the sun on stone and shadow. The composition is all about contrast — solidity and transparency, structure and atmosphere — a balance between the sacred and the earthy.
In Church in Sunlight Shikhanov-Kublitsky turns a simple motif into an emotional landscape. The church is not just a building but a vessel of warmth and memory — a shining symbol of peace, faith and the poetry of light.

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.
