Feature Artist Bio
By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by Russian
landscape painter Azat Galimov (born 1958, in Buinsk, Russia).
Azat's main painting subject is the urban landscape. Here the painter’s talent uncovers itself most brilliantly. Regardless of the city and the country, Azat feels and conveys on the canvas all the notes of harmony, beauty and atmosphere of the place he works in. His landscapes are painted with great love and are filled with exceptional ease, realism and psychological insight.
Azat graduated from V. Mukhina Leningradsky Art and Industrial Academy, now St. Petersburg State Academy of Art and Industry of A.L. Stieglitz.
While travelling throughout the different countries of the world the artist makes numerous sketches and draws studies. He has worked in Finland, Turkey, Montenegro,China, Bulgaria, Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Cyprus. Azat's artworks are presented in private collections in different countries.
A follower of the Realistic school of Art, the artist works a lot and stays very active, drawing landscapes and portraits and participating in various exhibitions. He has participated in the exhibitions of the Leningradsky Union of Artists on many occasions.
Azat is a Member of the St. Petersburg Union of Artists, Section of Painting; a Member of the Petrovskaya Academy of Sciences and arts, and a Member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists, Varna office.
In 2007 the artist was included in the Catalogue “Best Artists of Russia.”
​

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"Every artist sees his meaning in art differently. Some want to express themselves, their relation to depicted object, some tend to invent new techniques or styles.
Being myself an adherent of the realistic school of art, I seek the beauty and diversity of the world around. I admire the nature, architecture and color varieties of the cities I was lucky to visit. In those I consider my artistic destiny. Deliver happiness to the people, open their view to the world around— that is fulfilling the mission which I follow in my artwork."
