Victor Alexandrovich Otiev

Victor Alexandrovich Otiev (Russian: Виктор Александрович Отиев) was a Soviet and Russian artist of the second half of the twentieth century. He is known as a painter, landscape painter and animalist.

Victor Otiev worked in a variety of genres, including portraits, landscapes and studies from life. One of his favorite subjects was equestrianism. His style evolved from broad, energetic brushstrokes in his works of the 1950s and 1960s to a decorative and graphic style later in his career. In the works of the 1980s Otiev focused on color, decorative planes and rhythmic organization of space.

The master's works are in museums and private collections around the world.
