His appearance has destroyed our idea of painter as a poor long- haired person with some spots of color on his clothes. He is well- built; he wears blameless costumes and a golden chain on his neck. His works are simple and understandable, his landscapes known. The unique is that all paintings are made with very little of details. Each leave is seen. You can see the roughness of rind and ripples well. All his works, big oil- painted canvases and water- colored miniatures, are taken from his memory.
How could it possible so love nature! To create the works so positively it is necessary to admire nature. It looks that he wants to say: "Look, people! This is the grove. It is beautiful. That is lilac ( a big bunch of it). Breath in the well- known delicate aroma. Just do it and be happy."
Look at philosophical serial. There are strokes, outlines, paths of light, and suddenly a sillouette of a woman's hand is seen. What is it about? About us. We have sometimes difficult situation, bud we can solve them. Don't despire of anything.
Water- colored paintings are clear and obvious. All of the colours are so bright. But the sky is always worried and cloudy. So it is how the sky is seen by him.

Nikolay Bleskov is emotional in his paintings and opened.
Because of the circumstances of his life he began to paint when hi was a grown- up person in a tragical situation. He could change the destiny only because of his love to art and beauty. He paints in order to share with us his feelings .
Landscapes are taken from the real lifebut they are harmonized. But also he has the works wich show the dramatical inner life of the author. Dostoevsky said: "The beauty will save the world." But it is not allways. But beauty can save a man's soul. And here we have an example.
