About Me

My Background

To look upon a painting by Yuri is to transcend the time, distance, and faith that separate us. When face to face with one of his works, the possible oneness of the world is painted clearly for you across his canvas in vibrant reds, yellows, blues and greens. And, for one brief moment, all the chaos that is our modern way of life slips aw

Yuri dreamed of becoming an architect. However, in his last year of high school, the artist within him took control of his destiny and he took the path of a painter. At the highly acclaimed and renowned Mukhina Art Academy in St. Petersburg, Yuri and fellow students were encouraged to develop an individual style to make their mark in contemporary art and in 1986 Yuri graduated.

Yuri participated in around one hundred exhibitions in Sochi, Moscow, Germany, Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Aspen, Telluride, Santa Fe. His works are in private collections throughout the world, including Sweden, Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Japan, France, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, USA and more.

My Background

I love to mix different styles, techniques and textures. I desire my work to look decorative with a touch of humor. Continuously make small ink sketches and then selects which will be my next subject. Then primes a canvas and redraws the image in pencil on canvas, make a layer of modeling paste in some spots, next paint the figures with acrylic, and later continue the process with oil paints. Applying acrylic under the oil paints gives the surface additional texture and enhances that enigmatic look I like to achieve.

“Develop deep respect to the world

Breathe in the trace of a bird flying by

Gently touch the sky with your fingertips

Place the sky inside you

Then upon your head

Wrap yourself around the earth

Smile without moving your lips

See the whisper, hear the tree

Eat a pear without opening your mouth

Run away beyond the hill while standing stil

“Develop deep respect to the world

Breathe in the trace of a bird flying by

Gently touch the sky with your fingertips

Place the sky inside you

Then upon your head

Wrap yourself around the earth

Smile without moving your lips

See the whisper, hear the tree

Eat a pear without opening your mouth

Run away beyond the hill while standing still

Say all the words you know simultaneously

Similarly purr all the melodies

Reflect in all the objects at once

This is how paintings are born”
