Victor Zinuhov lives an artist's
life in pursuit of acquiring a vast resource of knowledge from disparate
origins. This quest has culminated in powerful and arresting works of
art. As a child, born in Kharkov, one of the oldest cultural centers in
the Ukraine, he wrote poetry, played Soccer and Judo, studied Ballet and
at age 17 enrolled in the Kharkov Art School. He furthered his studies
in the prestigious Kharkov Art Academy. Upon graduation from the Academy
he directed his talents toward painting and sculpting as well as creating
numental decorative art such as murals, relief, mosaic, stain glass.
In 1984, he was admitted as a member to the USSR Union of artist. In 1986,
he received a National Award of USSR Council of Ministry for sculptural
composition. Ministries of Culture, of the USSR and Ukraine, acquired
the Zinuhov painting for museums and private collections. Since 1990 his
career took a new twist. He was admitted to the USA as an artist of extraordinary
ability and now living in New York City. His work has been featured in
many exhibitions and he was the recipient of the Artist Showcase award
in Manhattan Arts International magazine. Zinuhov's dynamic paintings
exude the pulse of a modern society and unleash deeply rooted influences.
His exploration of Cultural traditions, music and various intellectual,
philosophical and metaphysical sources of learning inspire his paintings.
