The work was inspired by the great and only John Lennon. For me, he is the inspirer and teacher, musician, philosopher - artist. John is all that humanity is capable of in the good sense of the word.
Painting of the artist Vlado Vesselinov is a great example that the vintage style prevails lately and is also present in the world of contemporary art. The work of Vesselinov should be read as an expression of nostalgia and fascination with the past - fashion, design and pop culture of the 60s. A characteristic feature of these images is a clearly visible texture of the canvas, which remind us pages that someone snatched fr om a fashion magazine found in the attic. It's similar to the effect used by Quentin Tarantino in his recent productions, wh ere full of dirt and defects film reels pulls the audience in a unique atmosphere of a Drive-in theater. As for the colors of Vesselinov artworks, he clearly refers to the psychedelic record covers of Jimi Hendrix or Jefferson Airplaine.
