French painter of Russian origin, born in a small Russian village in 1887. His artistic concerns led him to Paris, where he reached artistic maturity. His work fluctuates between reality and fantasy, between the symbols of Russian popular folklore and the subconscious. Childhood is the source from which he drinks and his work is tinged with melancholy and memories of his childhood, when he was really happy.
