Ivan Koulakov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. Ivan Koulakov (born July 15, 1967) is a Russian scientist and artist.
Koulakov was born in Novosibirsk in Siberia. During his childhood Ivan visited the lectures his father Professor Yury Koulakov conducted on both classical and contemporary art. The museums of the former USSR, along with the paintings and photographs his father showed him, have had a significant influence on Koulakov's art. Today he says that these lectures were much more important to his development as an artist than any school of arts or university could have been. The symbiosis of his scientific career and art career has allowed Koulakov to exhibit in many countries.
