Landscape in Aleksejs Naumovs’ art can’t be perceived as passive artistic reflection that depicts outer world anymore. It has obtained the value of an active and responsible tool that allows the author and spectator to cooperate in constructing contemporary aesthetic environment. The artist seeks to portray the moment confined not only in the architecture as a captured music, but also in the rhythms of trees, interplay of contrasts or in the sound of children voices laughing in the park.
