Esionov works in the portrait genre, and actively promotes watercolor painting. According to critics he works in a contemporary art style at the interface of academism.[4] The artist's works are in the collections of museums including the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (Moscow), the State Russian Museum (Saint Petersburg), the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Tatarstan (Kazan), Samara Regional Art Museum (Samara), the State Museum of Arts of Uzbekistan (Tashkent).[5], the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts and Drawing ( Accademia delle Arti del Disegno) (Florence).

In his paintings the artist turns objects and subjects of the real world into works of art which is an indisputable evidence of his talent, high level of professional skills and mastery. Rather than cloning the real world, Esionov uses no optical devices, film or photo cameras to create a new reality relying only on purely artistic means. Esionov’s imaginary compositions and creative stylistic peculiarities visualize harmony of reality and imagination that inspires associative perception and imagination.[6]
