Painting gives Pavlovsky space for rest from modern design creative conflicts and serves as a platform for research in the field of color, proportions, and composition, and informs his design work. He sticks to the Russian aesthetic tradition of the 20th century. He doesn’t have a large number of paintings but they demonstrate his love for color and respect to the masters of the past. • Illustration — PRAVDA piece.
