The Art of Igor Samsonov

When I first saw one of Igor’s paintings one of my favorite artist Dino Valls came to mind. However, the more that I went through his artwork I could see where Igor’s talent drifted away from Mr. Valls. While his subject matter slightly wanes from one piece to another I love the tall, slender people that he tends to use.

Though I could not find a personal website by Mr. Samsonov I did come across the Academy of Arts Foundation located in Saint-Petersburg, Russia that features most of his work.
