(3.66 - 127 votes)About Igor:
Igor Koutsenko was born in Evpatoria, a resort city on the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea. His father brought Igor to the Children’s Art School in his hometown after his son demonstrated artistic ability at a young age. At age eleven, Koutsenko was accepted to the adult art studio directed by the acclaimed artist Zvyagintesev who encouraged his talent. Later Igor was educated at the Penza School of Art (class of E. Iodynis) and received rigorous training in the old traditions of Russian realist art. While living in Moscow, he successfully used the Moscow art market to sell his works to Russian and foreign collectors. His experience in Moscow allowed him to fully realize himself as an independent artist.
Maybe it’s just me, but these are reminiscent of a painting class I took in college.

Brilliant, love your work…love to see more. Noticed you are from Fallbrook, perhaps you would be interested in displaying your work at the Fallbrook house of the arts? I have connections if you do not already. If indeed you are interested in displaying your work there in Fallbrook, drop me a line if you are so inclined. briansportal@gmail.com

Love that first one. Reminds me of Van Gogh’s impasto style a little bit. Really great use of color.

Green sky and orange trees, colorful arn’t they? The fauves, cubists and Picasso would be thrilled. There is a lot to like here.

I love the bright colors, especially in the first painting… the vivid reds and oranges were so warm on this cold winter day. He really caught a feel for sunset which I liked.
