In the summer of 2013, the artist made a special trip there, from which he returned with vivid artistic impressions, as well as a lavender pigment that he added to his traditional set of canvas-oil-acrylic. The images of fields, trees, mountains, and clouds take us back to the second peasant cycle of Kazimir Malevich, and recall the fantastic vegetation in Henri Rousseau's pictures or the industrial flatness of the object world in Fernand Leger's canvasses, while the coloring in Khvostov's own lavender works clearly approaches Picasso's blue period.
