Blessed is a striking, large-scale original oil painting by acclaimed Russian-American artist Anton Arkhipov, completed in 1999. Rendered in his signature figurative expressionist style, the composition captures a richly symbolic, emotionally resonant subject rendered with bold linework and saturated color. This piece is further distinguished by a custom frame, handcrafted by Arkhipov himself, which seamlessly integrates the painting and its presentation. Works from this period, especially those at this scale and with original artist framing, are rare on the market and highly sought after by collectors of post-Soviet contemporary art and Southwest figurative expressionism. Arkhipov's work has been exhibited internationally and featured in notable galleries and private collections. Blessed exemplifies the artist’s most collected era and is a valuable acquisition for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers seeking a museum-quality original.
