Slava Ilyayev’s works are unique in the structure of the color, which is raised above the canvas. His compositions of light and shadow are affected by the transitions of the seasons of the year.

Ilyayev uses a palette knife instead of regular brushes to put oil paint on canvas, which creates a special and heavy texture. His works have been shown in various group and one-man exhibitions throughout Israel, Europe, and the USA.
