Figurative expressionism in Valery Levataev’s enamels is a rather rare phenomenon in modern fine art, therefore his works are always recognizable for their imagery, creative manner and impeccability of execution. However, the richness of motives and the seeming ease of the birth of images were developed by constant creative search - each new work is born in a struggle with the plastic concept of previous works, and this process is filled with qualitative characteristics, is distinguished by the progressiveness and organicness of self-development. The author’s technologies discovered by him impart special depth and expressiveness to historical and mythological subjects, to which the artist often turns. So, one of the peaks of his work was a cycle of works dedicated to the development of the Amur lands, and a gallery of images of prominent personalities,who took part in the development of the Russian Far East, showed the bright, individual skill of the artist. The new possibilities of easel enamel revealed by him acquired a special meaning and made a significant contribution to the development of Russian artistic culture.
