Albert Soltanov

Albert Soltanov (b. 1974) is a Russian artist, who graduated from Surikov Moscow Art Institute in 2004. He works in various genres: landscapes, portraits, still lifes and historical paintings, but his favorite genre is landscape, because it gives him the possibility (in the artist’s own words) to “generalize, compress, concentrate scraps of momentary impressions, distant memories and hopes about the future”. He also works in church art and has mosaics in the Cathedral of St. Sava in Belgrade on Vračar (Serbia) and in the Church of the Ascension of the Lord at the Nikitsky Gate in Moscow and others. The works of Soltanov are in various museums in Russia and in private collections in Russia, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, South Korea, Norway and Finland. Read more (http://albertsoltanov.ru/)
