Many-sided visual artist, Vladimir Volegov.

Описание: Vladimir Volegov is a many-sided visual artist from Russia now residing in Spain.

Vladimir was born in the city of Khabarovsk, on December 19, 1957.

His early work centered on graphic art for music recordings, comics, and commercial posters. He is known in the West for his realistic, profusely colored oil paintings often depicting romantically ambiance outdoor family life scenes.

Volegov studied at the Lvov Institute of Printing Art where he graduated in 1986. Volegov then began his career in Moscow as a graphic artist working in the music-record, comics, and advertising industries. As a music-CD cover designer, Volegov's credits are cataloged in recordings by Russian artists including Alla Pugacheva, Philipp Kirkorov, Lyube, Valery Leontiev, Lyudmila Gurchenko, and Irina Allegrova, among others.

Starting in 1986, Volegov meandered through western Europe as a street painter while nurturing afresh a distinct realistic style, often representing feminine beauty, maternity and childhood in romantic settings. Volegov's participation (2015) as an invited artist at the Anniversary Exhibition of the Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara, California was favorably reviewed by American Art Collector magazine.

In 1990 Vladimir began traveling to Europe where he earned money by painting portraits on the streets of Barcelona, Berlin, Vienna and other European cities. It is with this experience he further honed his skills in depicting the human form. Over the past fourteen years, his art has evolved into the striking figurative work he creates today. Vladimir's vibrant color palette and bold strokes coalesce to create evocative images that possess a timeless sensibility.

Volegov is also known for his miniature artistic dolls representing celebrities which have been exhibited at specialty fairs in Paris, New York and Barcelona among other cities.

Volegov is a prolific painting educator, having taught his art worldwide through personal tutoring, hands-on workshops and by producing videos demonstrating diverse aspects of his oil painting technique.
