Igor Snigirev

Igor Snigirev was Born in 1983 in Votkinsk, Russia. I live and work in Izhevsk, Russia. Attended an art school, and later graduated from the Udmurt State University (Izhevsk) mastering in Fine Art.

I am mainly engaged in graphics, continuing to find and develop new creative ways in painting, decorative arts and illustration. Took part in more than 30 group exhibitions in Russia and held a personal exhibition in Izhevsk in 2010. Most of my work is realistic large-format portraits that also contain lines and colours. The quality, workmanship and detail are significant. The main subject of work is the characters and signs of popular culture. As I work, I try to delve deeply into the topic and explore, whether it's rock music from the vinyl era, actors from the 90s VHS action movies or international football legends. Everything that has influenced my generation.
