Vladimir Parshikov

Born in 1937 in Leningrad, Vladimir Parshikov studied at the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and the Alexander Ostrovsky Leningrad Institute of Theatre Arts. Upon graduation, Vladimir worked as theatre set designer and lecturer. Member of the Desperate Painters group, the artist currently lives and works in St. Petersburg.

Parshikov’s paintings are hinged on delicate and vague chromatic combinations. There are no haphazard elements here and everything is laden with metaphorical and symbolical meaning.
