Not every artist manages to catch their creativity at first sight. Creating pictures-metaphors that surprise, delight, make you think is a real art. The talented creator Vladimir Kush is quite successful in this. One wants to look at his works endlessly, although it is almost impossible to unravel them to the end.
Road to Glory
Vladimir Kush was born in the capital of Russia in 1965. At the age of seven, he disappeared into art school until the evening, where he studied with interest the works of famous Renaissance artists, the great impressionists and modern masters.
At the age of 17, the future artist entered the Stroganov Academy, but a year later he had to leave his studies and join the army. In the service, the young man continued to create and drew propaganda posters. Returning home, Vladimir Kush continued to study art, and in his spare time he painted paid portraits on the Arbat to help his family during a difficult period.
In 1987, the young talent became a regular participant in exhibitions organized by the Unionartists. At a show of paintings in the German city of Coburg, held in 1990, almost all of Vladimir's exhibited works were sold out. The artist decided not to lose his luck and went to Los Angeles.
Life abroad
In America, Vladimir Kush had a hard time. At first, he rented a small garage for work, but could not find a place to display his paintings. Vladimir made a living by painting portraits on the street and after a while he was able to buy a ticket to Hawaii, where he dreamed of going all his life.
In 1993, a French entrepreneur appreciated the originality of Kush's work and organized an exhibition in Hong Kong. The event was a resounding success. He held another picture show in 1995, which also made a splash. However, two years later, Hong Kong became a region of China, and major European collectors who bought the author's paintings dispersed.
Artist Vladimir Kush decided to return to America, and this time luck smiled at him. In 2001, he opened his first exhibit in Hawaii. Currently, Vladimir has four personal galleries, and he is not going to stop there. The artist plans to open even more exhibitions around the world.
Master's paintings
Vladimir himself gave the name to the style of his works - "metaphorical realism". He uses unusual images to embodyhard-to-explain concepts such as "love" or "creativity". But at the same time, unlike most surrealists, he does not
tells objects beyond recognition and uses more light colors.
To give an opportunity to feel how bright and lively works Vladimir Kush draws, paintings with names are presented below.
The Discovery Diary depicts the moment when the imagination inspired by a book story takes us to a distant space.
The variety of life forms at the amazing moment of birth is depicted in the painting "The Miracle of Birth".

The painting "Play for the Ocean" reflects the idea of the reaction of the sky and the sea to the enchanting sounds of the violin.
"The arrow of time" symbolizes the so-called butterfly effect, when any action
may affect the course of life.
It is impossible to stop looking at the paintings of such an interesting artist, so in the end we will show a few more of his works.
