In 1953 he graduated from the painting department of the Almaty Art School. He studied under A. M. Cherkassky, L. P. Leontiev and A. F. Podkovyrov. The landscape ‘Winter Day in Almaty’ (1958) brought him his first fame. His landscapes show the colouristic abilities of the artist. Later works reveal the search for a decorative solution to the themes. Included in the ‘Register of Professional Artists of the Russian Empire, USSR, “Russian Abroad”, the Russian Federation and the republics of the former Soviet Union XVIII - XXI centuries’. Works are stored in the fund of the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan named after A. Kasteev and private collections. скрыть
