Helen Vladykina Art Prints

A gifted painter with a seemingly effortless command of the brush, Helen Vladykina was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was trained at the prestigious Art Institute of St. Petersburg. Her work can be seen in museums in St. Petersburg, Norilsk, Irkutsk, and in private collections throughout Russia and Europe. In 1991, accompanied by her husband, son and mother, Helen left Russia for the United States. She now makes her home in San Francisco, CA. "I come from a culture of artistic richness and beauty and I learned as a child to appreciate all that is beautiful around me. I have tried to express that beauty in my work. Time, as well, always seems to enter my creative efforts. I paint to communicate a vision that may last only an instant or perhaps for a generation." -- Helen Vladykina
