Nina Mikhailenko - Artist

Nina Mikhailenko - Artist My oil and watercolor paintings, pastel, ink, charcoal, pencil drawings. As a Russian-born painter, I grew up among the intelligentsia and cultural elite of St.

Petersburg, where I studied piano, ballet and fine art. I graduated from the renowned Mukhina Art Institute and came to the United States in 1974. Stylistically, her work has roots in a late-19th century Russian art movement called “Peredvishniki.” Literally, the Peredvishniki were itinerants or wanderers, who rebelled against the formal restrictions of the tsarist Imperial Academy of Arts and opt

ed to show their work in new venues. They painted populist themes in an accessible style: peasants, religious celebrations, and Russian landscapes. The tradition of creating art that is both serious and accessible is extremely important to me. Not surprisingly, my most successful works are commissions, which allow me to match a theme with its environment. My murals of life on Pampas, bullfights, chefs, cigar smokers, jazz musicians, and well-fed people having fun adorn the walls of upscale steakhouses, like El Gaucho, and carry no hidden moral agenda.
