Valery Koroshilov was born in Russia and received an architectural education. He now works from his two studios: one in London, and one on the Greek Island of Samos, where he travels to every Summer.

Valery’s artistic career launched in 1992 after a successful exhibition of graphic works in Amsterdam. He worked in Amsterdam as an architect for Alberts & Van Huut who are one of the leading Organic Style design firms in Europe. That first public exposure led to invitations from three more galleries to exhibit his work. Since then, Valery has exhibited regularly throughout Europe, and in the last fifteen years participated in more than 100 exhibitions worldwide.

In London, Valery has shown with several leading galleries including Roy Miles, Albermarle, The Mall Galleries, Westminster Gallery, West-Eleven, Llewellyn Alexander, Royal College of Art, the BOC Covent Garden Festival and Olympia and more recently, The Colomb Art Gallery.

In 2000 Valery’s first works had been sold at the auctions-on-line on the Sothebys.com and included into the BritArt Directory in 2001. In 2004 his painting “Masquerade” was chosen among thousands of images to represent the Annual Chelsea Art Fair and has been widely featured in the national press, including The Times, The World of Interiors, The London Guide, This Is London, The Antique Trade Gazette, and The Sunday Times.

Presented by Britart.com, several pictures had been shown at the Classic FM Festival aux Quat'Saisons, where they accompanied the performances of some of the most creative classical musicians of our time: Emma Johnson, the Sorrel Quartet and Julian Lloyd Webber.

In 2005 a British Fine Art Publisher produced a Portfolio of Limited Edition Signed Prints featuring 12 images based on his original paintings (Post Impressions, Aliasart). Valery has recently completed a major commission of thirty paintings for the P&O company for their UK's biggest luxury cruise ship, the Ventura, which Dame Helen Mirren officially opened in April 2008.

The Colomb Art Gallery is proud to exhibit a number of paintings by the artist Valery Koroshilov. For all available works please contact the gallery.
