Ventana Art Gallery - paintings and sculptures by international artists

Since arriving in the United States over a decade ago, master Russian artist Vadik Suljakov (pronounced shul-ya-kov) has established himself as one of the most distinguished young impressionists in the country. One look at his exquisitely textured canvases and you understand why his work is so highly sought after.

Suljakov was born in the cultural center of Moscow in 1960 and comes from a well known intellectual family with many generations of artists and writers. His parents gave him an excellent home education, which included painting by the age of seven. He continued with Russia's most rigid and traditional art education. At the age of twelve he attended the first art school and served apprenticeships at the Moscow graphic art committee and the Moscow art group.

	In 1990, Suljakov left Russia like so many other artists had done, because they were asked to tie their art to politics. His first year in the United States was spent in New York City working as a commercial artist with a group of other artists from his native Russia. When asked about the United States, Suljakov emphatically states, "I came to America when the time was right. at that point I felt I had enough experience to express my art and thought on canvas." In 1991, Suljakov relocated to sunny Southern California where a young art dealer soon discovered him. Ten years later, the demand for his work continues by collectors around the world. Over the years Suljakov has refined and perfected his vibrant textured style, which he achieves by using both acrylic and oils together with a brush and a palette knife. inspiration for his european images comes straight out of his fond memories of traveling through the continent when he was a boy. He still refers to thousands of photographs taken in his youth to ensure his art is accurate to the smallest detail.
	Ventana Art Gallery represents Vadik Suljakov's works of art.
