Artist Statement
In this brilliant sunlit composition, Ilya Zorkin showcases the Pskov Kremlin (an ancient citadel in Pskov, Russia) at its most glorious. The Kremlin was the administrative and spiritual centre of the Pskov Republic in the 15th century.
The reflection of the immaculate white Trinity Cathedral in the pure waters of Velikaya River is painted with a lightly-loaded brush contrasting beautifully with the confident strokes of thickly applied paint in the upper part of the painting.

Artist Profile
Born: 1988
Hometown: St. Petersburg
Based in: St. Petersburg
Large scale historical paintings, thorough development of the theme, ethnographic accuracy, multi-figure compositions and virtuoso execution is what Ilya Zorkin excels at. The Russian Academy of Arts awarded Ilya with a gold medal as the best painter. This way of celebrating the merits of the outstanding graduates continues the pre-revolutionary traditions of the Imperial Academy of Arts. Aivazovsky, Brullov, Repin and other prominent Russian painters who defined the classical school of painting of the 19th century have all received this award in the past.
Born and raised in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, Ilya graduated with distinction from the prestigious Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in St.Petersburg, Russia in 2019 like other fascinating artists such as Yuriy Ushakov, Valeria Privalikhina and Yaroslava Tichshenko and received an invitation to teach at the same institution.
Ilya participates in national and international art exhibitions and is currently represented by The Russian Ark.
