Viktor Shvaiko is a Russian artist whose work has been shown in various galleries across the world. He was born in Altai, Russia, one of Russia's most remote towns.
His natural inclination for fine arts and his strong urge to share his vision of nature drove him to find a way into the Novoaltaisk Artistic School, one of the two best schools for the arts in the former Soviet Union. Four years of strenuous studies enabled Viktor, avery diligent student, to acquire the skills of a true artist.
In the U.S., Shvaiko developed his penchant for painting little cafes and other intimate places that are seen in his contemporary work. He paints from dark to light, using a variety of brushes and palette knives as well as glazes and varnishes. He often has the complete image in his mind before he begins.
His settings are inspired by real places he has visited, often using photographs or sketches he took on site as a basis. However, he exercises his artistic license to create ideal scenes that express his impressions or feelings of a locale.
