弗拉基米尔·兹洛茨基

I am an aspiring figurative artist, focusing on portrait drawing and painting. Nicolai Fechin is one of my favorite portrait artists. Drawing from life holds a special meaning to me. The dance of the hand movements holding a pencil, the magic of the present moment taking roots on paper gives me an incredible joy and sense of harmony. Pastel medium has become a natural choice for me as a step into the world of color.

I grew up in Feodosia - a small town in Crimea with a rich 2,500 year old history, famous for the great Russian marine artist Aivazovsky, Voloshin, Bogaevsky and many others. I did attend a very good children art school, but the curriculum there was mostly focused on still life and landscapes. I did not consider art seriously at the time and chose to go to an engineering college. Being for the most part a self-taught draftsman and despite choosing an engineering career, I nevertheless always felt the desire to draw portraits.There was even a period in my life between jobs, when I worked as a street portrait artist.

I took a break from art after moving to America, while trying to build my life here. The Art Students League of New York gave me an extraordinary opportunity to reconnect with my passion for the figurative art after a 30 year hiatus.

我是一个有抱负的具象艺术家，专注于肖像画和绘画。尼古拉·费勋（Nicolai Fechin）是我最喜欢的肖像艺术家之一。从生活中汲取灵感对我来说具有特殊的意义。握着铅笔的手舞动，此刻在纸上扎根的魔力给了我难以置信的快乐和和谐感。作为进入色彩世界的一步，柔和的媒介已成为我的自然选择。

我在费奥多西亚长大——克里米亚的一个小镇，有着 2500 多年的悠久历史，以伟大的俄罗斯海洋艺术家埃瓦佐夫斯基（Aivazovsky）、Voloshin、Bogaevsky 和其他许多人而闻名。我确实上了一所非常好的儿童艺术学校，但那里的课程主要集中在静物和风景上。当时我并没有认真考虑艺术，而是选择了工科大学。作为一名自学成才的绘图员，尽管选择了工程职业，但我仍然一直渴望画肖像。曾有一段时间，我是一名街头肖像画家。

搬到美国后，我休息了一段时间，同时试图在这里建立我的生活。在中断了 30 年之后，纽约艺术学生联盟给了我一个难得的机会，让我重新找回对具象艺术的热情。我是美国粉彩协会的签名会员。
