He learned and worked in the monastery's own icon painting workshop . The sculptor Vladimir A. Beklemischew , who visited the monastery, saw Malyavin's work and invited him to St. Petersburg .

From 1892 Maljawin visited the painting department of the Petersburg Academy of Arts as a guest student. In 1894, when the painter Ilya Repin opened a studio at the academy, Maljawin studied there with artists such as Igor Grabar , Konstantin Somow and Anna Ostroumowa . In 1900 Maljawin traveled to France , where his picture Laughing (Смех) was shown at the World Exhibition in Paris and was awarded a gold medal. The painting was later exhibited in Italy and purchased by the Italian government for the Venetian Academy .

After his return to Russia , Maljawin lived mainly on a farm near the village of Axinjino near Ryazan . In the first decade of the 20th century he took part in exhibitions of the Cooperative of Traveling Exhibitors (Товарищество передвижников) . In 1906 he showed his picture Cyclone (Вихрь) at an exhibition of the World of Art Association (Мир искусства ) . He later became a member of the Union of Russian Artists (Союз русских художников) .
