Artist Sergei Repka called the virtuoso of still life and landscape. As the candidate of art criticism Vladimir Petraschik writes, “the landscapes of S. Repki are diverse in terms of the plot and mood, according to their inherent figurative significance. Without copying what he saw, the artist sometimes creates tiny etudes, emphasizing the characteristic features of the landscape in them, inspiring them with his own mood. The bright painting and cheerfulness of the world view awaken in us the same emotions that filled the impressionable heart of the maestro. S. Repki’s landscapes tend to sketch, but always perfect in all artistic dimensions. They are characterized by a lyric-poetic mood and an exquisite elevation. Still lifes are interesting, which reflect the awakening of either nature, or a happy smile of a woman, sometimes – moods of different seasons and days. Sergei Repka is also skilled in portraits, where dominance is cultivated and subtlety of inner feelings. Models of the master are reproduced in a free style of a broad brushstroke, with a light, fresh and pure view of the creator of the world. ” Master of still life, landscape and portrait. His landscapes, created in the open air, are diverse both in terms of subjects and mood, and in geography – from the Kiev slopes to the tea plantations in China.
