Sculptor Viktor Mosielev
Born in 1970 in Krasnoyarsk. Passed all levels of art education: Krasnoyarsk Art School named after V.I. Surikova Krasnoyarsk State Art Institute with honors Creative workshops of the Russian Academy of Arts As a student, he went on a creative trip to India, which helped create a series of compositions “Indian Etudes”. The works were exhibited at the Indian Academy of Arts in Delhi and at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Since 1994, he has been an active participant in art exhibitions at various levels: regional, regional, all-Russian and international, in Art Week projects and the Biennale. Publications in catalogs and media.
Now I am running several of my projects at once, which include a series of works on the topics: Angels of the Apocalypse, Calvary, Amazon and Kali Yuga. I am very close to the perception of the World through the prism of Eastern culture. I myself have been on expeditions across India many times, from plein airs to Ashrams and yoga, from the Rohtang Pass in the Himalayas at an altitude of 4,700 m in the north to the southernmost point - the Hindustan Peninsula, Kanyakumari, which provides a huge breeding ground for the themes of my projects. Despite the fact that these are not themes of the past, but a reflection, through the “archaism of our time,” of the present in which we now live. My goal is to express my thoughts in plastic. An artist cannot help but create; in this he is an egoist. Today, my sculptures stand in many cities: - from Vladivostok to Crimea - military themes, saints, athletes.. I am always looking for originality and an interesting composition.. But it is much happier if these are purely creative projects that have not undergone “moderation” such as “Peter and Fevronya” in Chastoozerye, “Romance” for lovers in Urai, “Chernobyls” and “Avgans” in Taman. Many famous people have small sculptures in bronze in their collections: Naryshkin S.E. - Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation; Mindiashvili D.G. - Master of Sports of the USSR in Freestyle Wrestling, coach of the Russian national team; Filipenko V.A. - head of the city of Khanty-Mansiysk; Kuznetsov L.V. - Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory; Natalya Osipova - prima ballerina of the Mikhailovsky Theater and the London Royal Ballet; Vostrokin V.A. - State Duma deputy; Nikolai Valuev, Fedor Emelianenko, Vika Tsiganova and others..
