In his pictures Vladimir uses wise naiveté of Russian folklore; in his pictures vivid imaginations add utmost expressiveness to the primitivism of his art. This is the way in which the Artist penetrates into the mysteries of everyday life, thus he sharpens ordinary events and creates his own world inside the city.
