Litvinov's paintings primarily focus on biblical, mythological, and historical themes. Using brushes and paints, he narrates the eternal passions and agonies to which humanity is condemned: envy, temptation, fear, but also tenderness, affection, and the warmth of maternal love. As a skilled artist, Litvinov's portraits of contemporaries in the settings of past eras appear natural, each character fitting appropriately into the interior and costumes.

With great skill and professionalism, Oleg paints multifigure compositions, depicting scenes from ancient tales and myths. A master of painting, artist Oleg Litvinov is always in creative exploration. Although his priority lies in depicting multifigure subjects in mythological, historical, and religious themes, captivating landscapes of his native region also deeply move his soul. These places, filled with beauty and harmony, were where his childhood and youth passed. Here, he painted his first canvases and created his early sketches. In the groves near the lovely Sula River, art continues to be born, as Oleg Arkadyevich works on his pieces daily.
