Dear land
Artist's spiritual painting
In the work of each artist there are paintings painted with inspiration. Such paintings, as a rule, depict relatives, favorite places, and beautiful subjects.
The collection of P. Redin's paintings contains several such works: a small cozy courtyard where the artist's childhood and youth were held; the artist’s wife and his children.
Some of the paintings are made literally in a few strokes at the moment of spiritual inspiration.

Amateur art
Amateur art was encouraged in the USSR. Artists, musicians, and singers from the people were more popular than professional groups. Everyone had the opportunity not only to show his talent but also to take lessons from professional mentors.
Amateur performances were so popular that each factory built its palace or club of culture. The presence of those clubs and palaces in cities and villages was almost ubiquitous.
Small episodes from the life of amateur actors are depicted on the canvases of Pavel Redin.

Decorative painting
The Holy Protection Cathedral in Zaporozhye was destroyed in the 1930s. A decision to restore it was made in the late 80s of the last century. The news about this was widely discussed in the local press. It was planned to build a new Cathedral in a few years.
Pavel Redin hoped to take part in the artistic painting of the Cathedral. But, unfortunately, he did not live to see even the starting of construction of that Cathedral.
Only a few photographs of the art paintings made by Pavel Redin have been preserved.

Landscapes of the native land
Pavel Redin loved his homeland with its rocks, colorful flowers of the boundless steppes, Kakhovsky Sea, winding channels of the Dnieper, shady oak forests and emerald pine groves of the Dnieper banks. All this was reflected on canvases of artist.

Recollection of Youth
This is the last artistic cycle created by the artist. The Zaporozhye organization of the Union of Artists was a very friendly and cohesive team. Often the artists traveled together to sketch or simply to rest on the banks of the Dnieper River. Friends hunted, fished, showed off their culinary talents and, of course, they drew.
Episodes of that wonderful time P. Redin captured in a series of six paintings “Recollection of Youth.
