Valerii Koshliakov (1962)

Valerii Koshliakov

Valerii Nikolaevich Koshliakov (Russian: Валерий Николаевич Кошляков) is a Russian painter, graphic artist, author of installations, lives and works in Germany, France and Moscow.

He studied at the Rostov Grekov Art School. Koshliakov works mainly with images of architecture, which in his works appears as a memory of the former greatness. The artist uses canvas, paper, kraft, but most often cardboard, pieces of which make up huge canvases and entire installations. On this basis with diluted colors he creates a very light, yet monumental painting, which imbues the material with a web of sweat, reflecting the author's unique vision.

The works of this successful artist are in the collections of the world's major museums, including the Tretyakov Gallery, the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Bilbao.
