Dmitry Lisichenko

Dmitry Lisichenko was born into a musical family in Moscow in 1976. He attended the Moscow Art Lyceum, and later the Moscow State Academic Art Institute (known as the Surikov Art Institute), where he came under the influence of the distinguished professors Eugeny Maximov and Ivan Lubennikov.

He worked initially as a restorer, repainting the famous murals of Moscow Cathedral, and undertaking commissions to paint and restore others in numerous Moscow churches.
His first works on canvas were simple, lyrical compositions, and it was some time before he developed his current interest in romantic and genre subjects, with their meditative and often enigmatic women in atmospheric interiors.
