Devochkin Kirill

Biography

I was born on the 5th of February 1973 is Krasnoyarsk (Russia, Siberia). My parents are highly creative people (my father is a painter and mother is a musician), so it's no surprise that at the age of 4 I took my first steps in painting and music (violin). When a child, I was given prizes for my pictures quite many times. One of the exhibitions of that time where I took the first prize was called "Snowdrop".

After that I entered Child's Art School and immediately became a second-course student. After finishing this school I entered Krasnoyarsk College of Art named after Vasily Surikov and this was the place where I received my diploma.


Since that time I have been doing some design work, on the other hand at the same time I have been painting some sketches and other works, which were generelly painted under the Impression made by the sceneries of magnificent Siberian nature. Now many of my works are parts of private collections in Krasnoyarsk, Moscow and other cities of Russia and abroad : Ireland, Germany and Finland.

In August of 2002 I moved to Saint-Petersburg, where I live and work at present. By this time I have already conducted 4 personal exhibitions in Saint-Petersburg :
The theme "The Yenisey - father".
1. "Blue lounge", the gallery - 2002
2. "Smolny", the exhibition hall - 2003
3. "Blue lounge', the gallery - 2003
4. The Mikhailov gallery - 2003
