Veprikov Alexander

   
       Alexander Veprikov Russian artist was born in August, 1947
   in the town of Urzshum in Russia. He had finished
   an Art school and after that  he was working  
   as a teacher of drawing. Later he entered 
   the Studio of Portrait and Historical Painting
   in the Moscow State Art Institute named Surikov
   which he graduated  in  1976. Since 1978  he is 
   a member of the Russian Artists Union. 

     He had taken part in many All-Union, local
   and foreign exhibitions. Many of his works
   are in private collections in  Canada, France,
   USA, China, UK, India, Germany. Brought up  in the traditions  of
   classical realism, the painter is persistent  in 
   following this trend.

     Having a philosophical turn of mind, the artist
  never contents himself with casualties. 
     Considering a sketch to be a preparatory material for painting, he aims at creating
  a complete, integral work; he thinks that " painting  a picture means creating
  a world of harmony, beauty and peace, where the soul of spectator dwells". This idea
  is apparent in his works; they are all complete, solid, well-arrenged.

     Trying to make his pictures utterly convincing the artist uses a many-layer technique
  of painting with scumbling and parallax of colours. The painter likes to work in genre
  of subject Still-life and landscape.
