Vladimir left an inheritance about 200 picturesque canvases, a huge number of pictures, sculptures and collages. Now the main part of collection of the artists works are in the city Obninsk of Kaluga region, where I live. Together with my children I promote his art and sell his painting.

We were working a lot as artists. We were the active members of avant-garde association “ARC”, effecting people with our energy and our ability to work in sphere of painting. In 1985 by an invitation of an administration of a factory “Komavant-garde” we moved to the city of Sobinka of Vladimir region. There Vladimir was heading a new-opened group of esthetic for an artistic décor of many surfaces of that textile production. Vladimir had his own workshop and he was working a lot. Painting and graphics were filling his restless and versatile life. Since 1995 during some years he was a member of International Federation of artists by UNESCO. At these years we organized our first personal exhibition, which took a place in the cinema –house “Voskhod (sun-rise)” in the city Sobinki.

It is a self-expression through the riot of colors, multi-layered texture, embodiment on canvas of his life stories, limitless love to his family, devotion to his friends…All this belongs to the painting of Vladimir Marushko.
