Shvaiko
Viktor
credits his teacher, Ilbek Khairoullinov, for a true fine arts
education. A strict regimen of drawing, an intricate technique
of using colors, and the influence of the 19th century Russian
artist Karl Brynllow brought Viktor Shvaiko close to a traditional
academic style of painting. After having attained technical excellence
in the manner of these traditional influences, the artist now
possessed the tools with which to express his feelings to the
world. At this point, Viktor's main focus became the beautiful
Altai landscapes.
