Rudolf Cuchkin

Rudolf Cuchkin is a self-taught French visual artist whose work primarily explores the male figure, portraiture, and the body. Through drawing, painting, and mixed media, he develops an intimate vision of masculinity, shaped by sensuality, desire, vulnerability, and eroticism.
His work has evolved through different periods and experiments, from painting to ballpoint pen, graphite, collage, and digital drawing. Fragmentation, the body, and the face remain recurring elements throughout his work.
His current practice focuses primarily on drawing and on a sensitive, personal representation of men, informed by his own experience, desire, and queer perspective.

Self-taught artist. My practice developed independently through drawing, painting and experimentation, gradually moving from traditional techniques to ballpoint pen, graphite, collage and digital drawing.
