Russian
painter Vladimir Volegov is famous for his figurative paintings
with his dramatic use of color and texture he creates a portrait-like
treatment of the female form, captured in a frozen, yet living
moment, with the surrounding bursts of color and scenery.
Born
on December 19, 1957 in
Khabarovsk, Russia, Vladimir began painting at the age of three and
his talent would be noted repeatedly throughout his adolescence.
Vladimir
graduated from Lvov Polygraphic Institute. In 1984 he began
participating in art exhibitions, where he got awards. In 1988 he
moved to Moscow, studied the art of painting and worked in commercial
art.
In
1990, Vladimir decided
to commit himself entirely to true art, and left the world of
commercial art behind him, to travel around Europe making a living as
a street artist by painting portraits of travelers. He painted his
way through Spain, Germany, and Austria, ever perfecting the striking
techniques that he uses today.
He creates wonderful expressive pictures of young women with kids, books, flowers, and cats. All his artwork is full of tenderness and infinite sensitivity.
He is a maestro who play with brushes and knives on just a smooth canvas.
”For
me it is important to show people the most wonderful feeling of
beauty, nature, sun, warmness and tenderness. When looking at my
paintings I want the viewer to think of their own memories, bathed in
a positive mood of their own feelings and emotions”
”It
is complicated to tell you about a “favourite painting”. While I
create them, all of them are a favourite, each one is valuable for
me, the most important is the process of creating…”
