Viktor Shvaiko Biography:
Born in Altai, one of Russia's most remote towns, Viktor Shvaiko grew up surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness. His natural inclination for fine arts and his strong urge to share his vision of nature drove him to find a way into the Novoaltaisk Artistic School, one of the two best schools for the arts in the former Soviet Union. Four years of strenuous studies enabled Viktor, a very diligent student, to acquire the skills of a true artist. Viktor credits his teacher, Ilbek Khairoullinov, for a true fine arts education. A strict regimen of drawing, an intricate technique of using colors, and the influence of the 19th century Russian artist Karl Brynllow brought Viktor Shvaiko close to a traditional academic style of painting art, prints and posters. After having attained technical excellence in the manner of these traditional influences, the artist possessed the tools with which to express his feelings to the world. At this point, Viktor's main focus became the beautiful Altai landscapes.  >>click here for more
