Yury Kuznetsov: Painter — NirmalaCulture

I always strive for a childlike spontaneity, which resembles being Here and Now.

It is similar to Contemplation and Meditation. First of all, I always work with colors.

I pursue the purity of color. I always make sure nothing looks like devastation, because I consider it my duty to bring joy and positivity to make this life holiday,

I strive to be in a special State, and everything else will follow. I enjoy the creative process.

If I like it, other people will like it, too! What is in a picture by the artist is a state, which turns a picture into a work of art. That’s what the spectator feels.

Creative biography YURY KUZNETSOV

Year of birth: 1973.

Place of birth: Samara region, Stavropol district, Verkhniye Belozerkiy village.

After finishing secondary school in 1989, he entered the Togliatti Pedagogical University, Department of Graphic Art. In the second year of study, he began teaching in the Timofeevsky high school as a tutor of fine arts. After he successfully defended his thesis in easel painting (diploma supervisor was Korzh A.M.) soon he moved to the School of Arts in Timofeevka village, where he continues to teach nowadays. During his working, pupils have actively participated in all children’s exhibitions and competitions in Togliatti and Samara. So many times have they become the laureates and winners.

Bringing love for art to children, he has made his own efforts to express his vision of the world in creative work, taking part in collective exhibitions. The result of their exhibitions has been the establishment of the “Aarti” creative association that has brought together artists of different styles and trends who are all alike in spirit.

His most recent works (cycle “Contemplation of Reality”), along with the works of O. Mayorov, that created the exhibition “AARTS. Recent works (the series “Contemplation of Reality” and O. Mayorov’s exhibition “Aarti – The Art of Praise”) are inspired by a journey to India that considerably multiplied the experience of spiritual awareness of Being.
