Alexei Vasilievici Hanzen

Alexei Vasilievici Hanzen made quiet, small-scale seascapes and landscapes that feel like the visual equivalent of a held breath. In the etchings and prints, you can almost hear the water lap against the shore in Peisaj, while the oil Peisaj marin keeps the horizon low and the sky vast. Both works favor muted greens and blues, letting the composition breathe. One plate even shows a single gull frozen mid-dive—no drama, just the precise moment before the wings fold. Tap Peisaj to step into the still air of Hanzen’s world.
