Vladimir Kush, Russian painter and sculptor, was born in Russia, in a one-story wooden house near the Moscow forest-park Sokolniki. At the age of seven Vladimir began to attend art school until late evening where he became acquainted with the works of great artists of the Renaissance, famous Impressionists and Modern Artists.
The Founder of Metaphorical Realism, Vladimir Kush once showed enthusiasm for the German Romanticism of Caspar Friedrich, admired works of the Impressionists from Édouard Manet to Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne, and took interest the Russian Symbolists, Kandinski, Petrov-Vodkin and Filonov. From reproductions, Vladimir, for the first time, learned about Surrealist painters - René Magritte and Salvador Dali. But Vladimir sought his own direction, his own creative method.Vladimir remembered a percept given by Dali: “Any rewarding painting is grasp and retention of the Unknown”. But, in order to retain the Unknown, one should, first and foremost, perfect his skill. Only then is it possible to represent even the most amazing dream.
