Yuri Kraval

I was born, raised and now live in Novosibirsk (Russia).
From childhood I was fond of drawing and medicine, in my youth I graduated from medical university, but the artist still won in me.
In the 90s, I became interested in computer graphics and design. I worked as a designer in magazines and on television.
Computer graphics, television and the love of drawing! Gradually, all this got mixed and the animation turned out, which I have been doing to this day.
A computer is a wonderful tool in the artist’s hands, but working live on canvas or paper is already a divine act.
Therefore, I try to devote enough time to non-virtual art.
What is my works? Symbiosis of Albrecht Durer, cartoon characters, posters of the 19th, first half of the 20th century.
And probably something from heaven.
I am not a very religious person in the traditional sense of the word, but God (probably he) inserts some images into my head and moves my hand.
This concludes my short biography so as not to bore you.
If someday art critics wants to write a book about me, I will tell them everything in detail, step by step.

Until recently, I participated in only a few regional exhibitions, since I spent most of my time on animation.
But over time, priorities change, you begin to appreciate more "live" work. Now I want to show my art to the world. I will work in this direction...
