Igor B GLIK

French painter-photographer, originally from Russia, graduated from Moscow Fine Art School, has been living and working in Paris since 1986. The camera was always his working tool, whereas photos were some kind of sketchbook. Photography has recently become his second profession. Light, rhythm, atmosphere are essential as in his painting as on his photographic images. The main photographic topics of this artist are women beauties, portraits, nudes, and still life, which are carefully arranged and posed. His imagination demolishes temporal reality – time is irrelevant on his images.

My subjects are often inspired with mythological theme that are in a way chosen constrains to lead viewers to accomplish a certain visual parkour or journey. What originally inspired me to create each painting concerns only me as an artist. Viewers’ interpretation concerns only them.

Born in 1953 in Moscow where he studied at Fine Art school. Escaped from the Soviet Union in 1980. After having lived in Italy and Canada, he permanently settled in France in 1987.

Exhibits regularly in art galleries in France, Italy and Netherland.

Has many personal exhibitions.

Won a lot of awards, three of which the distinguished prizes of Fine Art Academy.

The paintings and photos are in private collections in the following countries: France, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, England, the USA, Canada, China and Russia
