Summer Shadows

Name: Mihail Vachaev

Place of Birth: Sverdlovsk, Russia

From 2003 to 2007, I attended various art schools. After that, I continued to study painting and visual arts independently.

Throughout his artistic journey, he explored various styles, including photorealism and elements of expressionism. As a result of this exploration, he developed a distinctive approach that combines realism and impressionism.

He has participated in both group and solo exhibitions in Russia. His works are held in private collections in Russia, China, and several European countries.

Digital Art

Since 2018, he has been actively working in the video game industry as a 2D artist. His work includes creating photorealistic illustrations, designing visual game elements, and engaging in industrial design, using various modern digital tools.

Also since 2018, he has been developing a personal project — a series of ironic digital artworks addressing social themes, inspired by everyday life in his hometown of Yekaterinburg. The project has gained widespread recognition and popularity across Russia.

Since 2023, he has been living in Serbia. In 2024, an exhibition of the author's paintings took place in the city of Sombor.
He currently lives and works in Belgrade.
