Maximilian Presnyakov (Russian: Максимильян Анатольевич Пресняков; born 30 January 1968) is a Russian artist working both in traditional[1] and experimental styles and movements[2] (micro[3] etc.); member of the Russian Union of Artists (1997).[4]

Early life and education

He was born to a family of artists.[1] He spent in Vitebsk about ten years. Here he attended a local art school; later he moved to Ryazan. After receiving a diploma at the Ryazan College of Art, he went to study in Moscow, at Surikov Institute, from which he graduated in 1996.[5]

Art and research

Mythological and fairy motifs hold a special place in his work. Presnyakov combines fantastic themes with different genres and techniques (oil or watercolor painting, drawing, etc.); however, his works bear the author’s stamp linking together such diversity of styles and techniques.[6] The artist described his style as "frameless" and "patternless":

Initially, I don’t try to keep any frames. I think many creative ideas could hardly be restricted by such patterns, but both realistic and symbolic movements appear in my works. [1]

Presnyakov’s name is connected with development of so called micro-movement. The artist created his works microscopically (with a microscope).[7]

Presnyakov is known as a theorist of ornamentalism.[8][9] In 2010 he became a teacher at the High School of Folk Arts (Ryazan).[7][10]

He participated in several RGO expeditions as the painter.[11][12][13]
