Aleksei Bukakin is a unique master. Living in russian country-side not far away from Kolomna town he feels the beauty of russain nature and life-style as nobody else. He says that what he creates on the canvas is a small part of his heart and soul that is why his artworks give warmth and joy.
Kolomna lies southeast of Moscow near the confluence of the Moskva and Oka
rivers. First mentioned in 1177, Kolomna formed a key stronghold on Moscow's southern frontier; it was sacked four times by the Tatars.
In 1301 Kolomna became a part of Moscow principality. Starting from 1359 Kolomna change hands to Dmitry Donskoy who was one of the most outstanding knyaz in Russian history. (the word knyaz stands for the English word prince and king).
It was in Kolomna town where Dmitry Donskoy gathered his troops before the Kulikovskaya battle against the Tatars and their khan Mamai.
In 1552 tzar Ivan the Terrible formed his army in Kolomna before he attacked the town of Kazan to defeat this independent town.
The stone Kremlin of Kolomna was built between 1525 and 1531 during the rule of Moscow knyaz Vasily the Third after the Moscow Kremlin.
