Yuri Kuznetsov

To look upon a painting by Yuri is to transcend the time, distance, and faith that separate us. When face to face with one of his works, the possible oneness of the world is clearly painted for you across his canvas in vibrant reds, yellows, blues, and greens. And, for one brief moment, all the chaos that is our modern way of life slips away, and you are smiling.

Yuri dreamed of becoming an architect. However, in his last year of high school, the artist within him took control of his destiny and he took the path of a painter. At the highly acclaimed and renowned Mukhina Art Academy in St. Petersburg, Yuri and fellow students were encouraged to develop an individual style to make their mark in contemporary art, and in 1986, Yuri graduated.

Yuri participated in around one hundred exhibitions in Sochi, Moscow, Germany, Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Aspen, Telluride, and Santa Fe. His works are in private collections throughout the world, including Sweden, Great Britain, Holland, Germany, Japan, France, Australia, New Zealand,
