Dmitry Margolin

Born in Leningrad in 1982, Dmitry Margolin studied at the School of Painting of the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in St. Petersburg. Since 2008, he has been teaching art at the Boris Ioganson St. Petersburg State Academic Art School.In 2020, the artist spent five months creating the large-scale wall paintings at the Church of Saint John the Baptist in Pushkinskiye Gory.

Revisiting Bible stories in his paintings, graphic works, sculptures, and ceramics, Margolin employs special compositional devices to approach the subject of the sacral. Departing from reality with its distinctive features and phenomena, he seeks to enter the realm of profound existential and religious meanings by discovering a signature form of artistic expression.
