Ilya Zheltov

Visual Art – Brisbane

I was born in Russia in 1971, I started studying oil and acrylic painting at the age of 12 but was not really thinking of art as my passion for life. When I graduated from the Art school I was more fascinated about detailed technical drawings of architecture elements and various mechanisms; thus completed the University degree as a technical drawing teacher and then as an interior designer. Having an artistic skillset helped me a lot in my interior design carrier while creating various residential and office spaces. After immigrating to Australia I felt the urge to start creating again. Having tried oil, acrylic, watercolour, but I fell in love with the charcoal.
