Alexei Butirskiy

Alexei Butirskiy is a classically trained artist, who received his MFA in 1998 from the Ilya Glazunov Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, one of the most prestigious art universities in the world.

Alexei’s favorite subjects are urban landscapes depicting daily city life without pathos or embellishment. The strength and intensity of the play of light and shadow are the expressive means by which Butirskiy’s works glow from within and demonstrate a unique virtuoso use of chiaroscuro.
