Artistic Background, Style & Philosophy

Construction and Architecture in 1985 and worked as an architect before dedicating himself fully to
painting.
* Technique: Gorovyi's work is characterized by a blend of Impressionism and Realism. He is a proponent
of plein air painting, often visiting a location multiple times to study how different light and weather
conditions affect the scene before finishing a piece in his studio.

Connecticut scenery and iconic New York locations like Central Park.
