Since 1999 he has been living and working in Prague (Czech Republic) as an independent artist under the name Shulman. He now works in the style of figurative painting. His work is distinguished by his love for his characters, sincerity, and sometimes provactivity. The heroes of his paintings are ordinary people. Their joys and sorrows, emotions and their absence. Just the life of ordinary people.

Varying Styles
Creativity is key for Shulman, who enjoys exploring a range of subject matter and styles in his paintings. He is inspired by a range of art movements and takes fragments from many in order to create something new and entirely unique to him. In many of his works, he paints a bold colourful background that empties the scene of context in order to focus our attention on the figure.
