These amazing paintings, which could well be considered as works of classical masters, are the works of Igor Samsonov, an artist from St. Petersburg.

Born in Voronezh in 1963, he began to draw at the age of ten. In 1980 he graduated with honors from the School of Art and, in 1996, from the I.E. Repin State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in St. Petersburg. After graduating from the Academy, a thoughtful artist painfully searched for his style, that, by his own admission, he found only in 2003.

A great influence on the artist had a period in the history of late Gothic art. Mixing modern artistic techniques and that of the Renaissance give originality to the works of Igor Samsonov. The rich imagination of the artist,  the refined embodiment of images and the exquisite color scheme make the artist’s works unique.
