Andrey Uvarov

Andrey Uvarov was born in 1964 in Leningrad. Having studied at a secondary art school, he worked as an art restorer and attended lectures on art history at the Academy of Art.

Uvarov’s artworks seem bent on unravelling the mystery of his home city under the permanently grey skies. The artist draws and paints the things that have always been near and dear to him, like the characteristic St. Petersburg courtyards, fire walls, and escape stairs.
