Ink on Paper Architectural Paintings

Lovely picturesque black and white architectural paintings.
Russian Artist Ildyukov Oleg paints these peaceful looking scenes of cities. I say peaceful because in most there are no people. Where the are, their their numbers do not exceed two.

Very intimate views that either concentrate exclusively on the architecture, or on the person or the two people shown in the scene.

Urban settings that are usually teaming with people and moving cars, have had their volume turned down to quiet, for you to enjoy the surroundings without distractions. Maybe to create the circumstances for a daydream to develop.

Have a look through this page and lets see what happens.
