Artistic style
Many of Rosov's realist paintings document his immediate surroundings. He paints landscapes of the Galilee, Hebron, Africa and Tuscany, as well as views of foliage, trees and sabra bushes. Pilots and soldiers are a dominant theme in his early work. Rozov creates an atmosphere of portending destruction, with violence present in an indirect manner. His painting is typified by attention to minute detail, combining local and European painterly traditions.[3]
