Victor’s art can be highly symbolic with hidden clues to help decipher
the images. His work can also be humbly simple with images and subjects of
universal appeal. They can be equally viewed for their vibrant textured colors
that fill the canvas and contrast with the translucent glazes that make the
paintings dance with light and pull in those who view it. Victor breathes life
into each work inviting the viewer into the painting as a separate universe,
one filled with boldness, energy and rich hues.

Victor Nizovtsev was born in 1965 in Central Siberia, in the city of
Ulan-Ude near Lake Baikal. When Victor was a little boy his family moved from
the Russian Federation to the Republic of Moldova. Victor grew up in Kotovsk, a
town located in the heart of the region’s wine country and 30 miles southeast
of the capital of Moldova, Chisinau.

At age nine he entered Kotovsk’s Art School for Children where he
studied for four years. In the 9th grade, he left home to study at Ilia Repin
College for Art in Chisinau. He then studied at the prestigious Vera Muhina
University for Industrial Arts in St. Petersburg, Russia. Upon graduation in
1993 Victor returned to Kotovsk where he began painting professionally. In 1997
Victor moved to the United States where he successfully continued pursuing his
art career. In 2004 Victor moved from Washington, D.C. to Maryland where he
resides with his wife and young daughter.

In his short time in the United States Victor has enjoyed a high degree
of success, exhibiting in numerous solo and group shows with collectors excited
to find and acquire his unique and imaginative paintings.

McBride Gallery is pleased to showcase the work of this talented
Russian-American artist.
