« I am a highly disciplined, hard-working artist, and I challenge myself with every painting in an almost fanatical and passionate way. »
Nikita Budkov is an award-winning artist whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Russia and Spain. He believes that a compelling narrative is the most important aspect of fine art. For Budkov, a painting is not simply about splashes of color or bursts of emotions, but rather, a story. He enjoys adding symbolic elements in his representational and realistic compositions.
