Pavel Guliaev is an artist based in Russia whose paintings have been exhibited nationally, in Germany, Belgium, and France. He describes his art as "uniting the physical and metaphysical world". Guliaev's distinctive artistic expression combines elements of realism, surrealism, symbolism, as well as mystical and magical realism. His reflection on reality is conveyed through the use of symbolic elements. Creating solely with oils, he employs glazing techniques that give "a sense of historical continuity with the old masters".
