Mihail Chemiakin studied art at the famous Rapine Art Academy in the Soviet Union. His incredible talent and insatiable hunger for innovation led him to challenge the establishment.

          In 1971, Chemiakin left the Soviet Union and settled in Paris where his images had already become familiar to European collectors. In 1980, he moved to New York where he presently resides and continues to work . His work is currently featured in all of the major cultural centers of the world.

          Chemiakin's explosive career has led him to become one of the most acclaimed contemporary Russian artists in the world. His museum shows have also been widely acclaimed, and most of his gallery shows have been sell-outs.
