The thorny path of Vasily Klyukin gives a reason to follow - thanks to tireless self-development, he grew from an unknown cashier to a major businessman. Modern Leonardo Da Vinci - this is how journalists dubbed Vasily, for his comprehensive interest in knowledge.

They say that a talented person is talented in everything, and Vasily was no exception - his new bright and extraordinary vision of ordinary things caused a storm of admiration. When you get to know Klyukin’s life better, you immediately understand how versatile and interesting he is. Conquering volcanoes and caves, waterfalls and Mayan pyramids, flying an airplane and a balloon, writing stories and books - all this is just a hobby for Vasily. In addition, the businessman is engaged in architecture, sculpture and design.

The beginning of the journey: a random sentence that turned the world upside down

Klyukin was born in a family far from secular life. Father - Klyukin Vasily Ivanovich - teacher, writer and historian; mother - Elena Isakovna - newspaper editor. A quiet, educated family prophesied young Vasya the profession of an insurer. In 1993 the young man wasenrolled in the Financial Academy at the Faculty of Insurance, at the same time taking a part-time job "according to the profile" - an insurance consultant in a small company.

Life went on as usual, not foreshadowing drastic changes. But one day, a friend’s random offer to take part in a competition for a position in the ASB-Agro bank opened up completely new horizons for Vasily Klyukin. He won the competition. And he ended up in the position of a cashier in a bank, where he gradually rose up the career ladder to an assistant manager. But new horizons require new knowledge, so Vasily decided to master additional disciplines - an auditor and an appraiser.

Having worked for many years in the banking sector, in 2003 Vasily, together with his brother Mikhail, decided to buy out the unknown Buykombank, renaming it Sovcombank. The brothers' long and painstaking work paid off - in 2010 Sovcombank entered the top 100 banks in the country.

Klukin-style architecture: unique highlights of cities

Vasily was already showing his versatility at that time - in parallel with banking, the businessman in 2009 began to engage in development activities - completing the construction of facilities affected by the crisis and remaining “frozen”. Such as the Well House and individual sections of the towers in the Moscow City business center.

This awakens in Klyukin a serious interest in design and architecture. Ideas that excite the mind appear one after another: buildings in the form of a ship, a shark, a cobra or a goddess - a truly breathtaking sight! Already inIn 2013, the Italian publishing house Skira presents the world with Klyukin's wide-format album Designing Legends, which publishes more than 50 bright ideas for towers, museums, theaters and office buildings.

After the presentation of his concepts, Vasily Klyukin's photo appears in all world magazines, he is invited to a round-the-world autograph session, and foreign architects and fashion figures begin to take an intense interest in him. Each exposition of Klyukin aims to make the building a symbol of the city - unique forms and bright originality of design make the building easily recognizable and attractive. Some of the most colorful projects reflecting Vasily's style are the Venus, Nika, Roses, Jungle Park and Tulip palace towers.

Gorgeous Hell: Modern Apocalypse Incarnate

Love for beauty manifests itself in all areas of Vasily Vasilyevich's life. Since 2010, Klyukin created the Stars-Bridge company and began to vigorously develop contemporary art - he contributes to world exhibitions in Moscow, Miami, Paris, Tokyo and Monaco. Immersed in the world of creativity, Vasily became seriously interested in sculpture. And already in 2013 he holds his debut professional exhibition in the Mikhailovsky Castle, and later in Moscow City.

Sculptures by Vasily Klyukin depict a modern interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy: 22 figures depicting deadly sins, Dante's death mask and the new 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Overpopulation, Greed, Disinformation and Pollution. Over 300 visitors to Vasily Klyukin's exhibition in two monthsthousand people, which is an absolute record in street exhibitions in Russia.

The personal life of a banker: happiness from the second take

Active life requires its victims. So, the businessman's first marriage broke up due to Klyukin's employment, but Vasily communicates with his ex-wife and pays attention to his children. At the moment, Klyukin married a second time - to model Anna Vishnevskaya. To all journalists' questions about marriage, he replies that "he found real happiness, which he had to chase."

At the moment, the businessman continues to develop art around the world, creates new unique building concepts, and participates in charity events. At one of these auctions, Vasily Klyukin bought out the Flight into Space with Leonardo DiCaprio lot, which was supposed to take place back in 2014. Recall that the tourist spacecraft crashed during a test flight, and a new date has not yet been set. “A flight into space is not for you to walk in the park. In this case, no one is in a hurry, here we need complete security,”Vasily Klyukin himself comments on what is happening.
