biography

Georgi Schischkin was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts at the age of ten. In 1975 he graduated from the National School of Fine Arts and Architecture in Sverdlovsk. He then took an internship at the National School of Fine Arts Stroganoff Moscow, received his doctorate as professor of drawing and painting, and taught there for a period of ten years.

In 1974, he participated in art exhibitions and won the national competition for young designers of Russia. Experimenting with different techniques led him to pastel in 1980 . He developed a new method of preparing the substrate that guarantees the adhesion of the pastel colors. In doing so, he opened up new possibilities for transparency and fluidity for pastel painting.

In 1981 he made his first independent exhibition and sold some of his works. He also worked as an architect; some of his projects have been realized. However, he gave up this brilliant career as well as making music for painting. He also had a passion for theater, dance and opera. He also worked at the Theater Museum for the Opera and Ballet of Yekaterinburg, where he painted, among other things, two large frescoes and a gallery of portraits of famous soloists from the scene. His portrait of the ballet master Pyotr Gusev was acquired by the Museum of Art Theater in St. Petersburg. In 1987 he organized a solo exhibition in Moscow and his pictures were featured in the science program Obviously - Incredibly by Sergei Kapitza. Since 1989 Schischkin has participated in many international exhibitions and travels to the GDR and the Netherlands.

In 1991 he made an exhibition in the Burg Vossloch gallery in Hamburg . After many trips abroad, he felt the urge to return to his Russian roots. So in 1992 he began to paint pictures from the cycle "Russian Dreams". Here the painter sought the connection between abstraction and reality.

His works are famous in Russia and on the territory of the former Soviet Union, as he also worked for the largest institutions, associations, museums and foundations. For example, his portrait of Fyodor Ivanovich Chalyapin is published in the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. In 1993, the painter is XIX. International Philosophers' Congress in Moscow and the II. Compatriot Congress in the Russian Academy of Science. He felt a new impulse for his series “Russian Dreams” when he came to Paris (1993) and then Monaco (1995) and met Russian expatriates.

He had an exhibition in Paris in 1993. André Damien, Mayor of Versailles, opened the subsequent exhibition Shishkin in Versailles. Lord Alistair McAlpine discovered Shishkin's works in Paris (1995) and published an article entitled: painter Russian enigma captures ( "Painter who captures the enigma of Russia") in The European Magazine (September 21 to 27). In 1998 he took part in the International XXII. Monte Carlo Prize for Contemporary Art, organized by the Prince-Pierre Foundation of Monaco . A year later he became a recipient of the Taylor Foundation. In the same year he participates in the exhibition of 12 Masters of Contemporary Art at Christie's in Monaco. On March 6th, at a Christie's auction, a picture by Schischkin wins fourth place among internationally renowned artists such as Arman, Botero, Matta, Folon. His painting was acquired by Luciano Pavarotti himself .

He had numerous exhibitions in Cannes (1999), Monte-Carlo (1999), Nice (2000), Luxembourg (2005), Villefranche-sur-Mer (2005), Monaco (2006) and Paris (2009 and 2010). His works are now available in many museums and private collections.

Georgi Schischkin has been a citizen of the Principality of Monaco since 1998. Invited to the Monaco stamp competition in 2005, Shishkin won the competition for his profile of Prince Albert II.

Six years later he won the competition for the stamp on the occasion of the wedding of Prince Albert II of Monaco to Charlene Wittstock . In 2009 he designed two stamps for the Russian Post on the occasion of the centenary of the Russian ballet. In 2010 Shishkin made a Chekhov stamp. In 2012 Shishkin was invited to create postage stamps for the Russian Federation. Its first block of mail received the appointment of better postmarks in Russia.

In 2014 his works were then exhibited at the Russian-German Week in Baden-Baden.
