Vladimir Migachyov

Vladimir Migachyov was born in the village of Kucheryayevo, Oryol Oblast, in 1959. In the late 1970, after his family had moved to Krasnodar, Vladimir entered the School of Visual and Graphic Arts of the Kuban State University. Following graduation in 1986, the artist started teaching art and technical drawing at a secondary school, at the same time expressing himself through painting.

Landscape has been Migachyov’s favourite genre since the 1990s. With each of his works, the artist tries to reverse human alienation from nature. Vladimir works in a recognisable manner combining a graphic monochrome palette with the rough textures of coal, soil, cement, and embedded objects. The artist elevates the principle elements of a landscape, like land, sky, water, and trees, to the state of concise formulas and symbols.
