It is not possible for every artist to catch his creativity at first sight. To create pictures-metaphors that surprise, delight, make you think is a real art. The talented creator Vladimir Kush is quite successful. His work wants to be considered infinitely, although it is almost impossible to solve them to the end.

Way to glory

Vladimir Kush was born in the Russian capital in 1965. At the age of seven, he disappeared in an art school until the evening, where he studied with interest the works of famous artists of the Renaissance, the great impressionists and modern masters.

At the age of 17, the future artist entered the S.Stroganov Academy, but a year later he had to leave his studies and join the army. At the service the young man continued to create and draw agitation posters. Returning home, Vladimir Kush continued to learn the art craft, and in his spare time he painted portraits on the Arbat to help the family in a difficult period.

In 1987, young talent became a permanent participant in exhibitions organized by the Union of Artists. At the show of paintings in the German city of Coburg, held in 1990, almost all the exhibited works of Vladimir were sold out. The artist decided not to lose luck from his hands and went to Los Angeles.

Life Abroad

In America, Vladimir Kusha had a hard time. The first time he rented a small garage for work, but could not find a place for the exhibition of paintings. Vladimir earned his living by drawing portraits on the street and after a while he was able to buy a ticket to Hawaii, where he dreamed of falling all his life.

In 1993, an entrepreneur from France appreciated the originality of Kush's works and organized an exhibition in Hong Kong. The event was a stunning success. He held another show of paintings in 1995, which also made a splash. However, two years later, Hong Kong became a district of China, and large European collectors who bought paintings of the author, parted.

Artist Vladimir Kush decided to return to America, and this time the luck smiled at him. In 2001, he opened his first exhibition in Hawaii. Currently, Vladimir has four personal galleries, and he is not going to stop there. The artist's plans include opening more exhibitions around the world.
