Born in Altai, one of Russia's most remote and off-the-beaten-track towns, Viktor Shvaiko's natural inclination for fine arts led him to the Novoaltaisk Artistic School, one of the top institutions for the arts in the former Soviet Union, where he acquired the skills of a true artist, heavily influenced by 19th-century Russian artist Karl Brynllow and his teacher, Ilbek Khairoullinov.
After mastering the traditional academic style of painting and focusing on the beautiful Altai landscapes, Viktor Shvaiko moved to Transkarpathia, Ukraine, where he fell in love with the picturesque countryside, holding exhibitions in the region. Frustrated by Russian bureaucracy, he escaped to Italy during the civil war, selling his paintings on the streets of Rome, eventually returning to Russia and then immigrating to America, where he developed his signature style of painting charming cafes and intimate settings that have captured the hearts of collectors worldwide.
