Welcome

 Thank you for taking the time to stop by and look at my paintings.

 My name is Vladimir Skvortsov.  I was born in Saint Petersburg,  Russia.

 Saint Petersburg is a famous art center and home to one of the  world's largest museums - The Hermitage.

 I've been sketching and drawing for as long as I can remember,  but I did not have enough time to devote myself fully to painting.  When I retired and came to Canada I began to realize my  dreams as an artist. I was truly impressed by how many  wonderful people from many countries I met here. Portraits have  taken a significant place in my work ever since. If I can not paint  a model in my studio I try to use video for making portraits and  not just photos. It helps to avoid static portraits that are not  lifelike. In portraits I try reflect the emotional state of each person.  I will be happy if you feel all this when looking at my paintings.

Please contact me with your opinions about my artworks, any questions or inquiries for custom orders.
