ARTIST STATEMENT

Gregory Maslennikov stepped on the path of pursuing a career in art in his very early childhood. His grandfather was a talented artist, and seeing the boy’s apparent inherited talent and interest for painting, Gregory’s parents sent him to an art school in Nizhnegorodsk, from which he graduated at the age of sixteen. Despite the fact that Gregory was eventually persuaded against proceeding with further studies, at the age of twenty-four he decided to dedicate himself to painting full-time. Ultimately, the years of independent practice resulted in him acquiring a very unique style and individual manner of painting.
