Born in the USSR, Canadian artist Vladimir Kolosov (1962) is a prominent neo-surrealist whose work bridges visual art, science, and philosophy. Now based in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, his diverse academic background in mathematics, physics, psychology, and music deeply informs his multidisciplinary creative practice.
Kolosov investigates human consciousness and time using oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastels. As a master colorist, his vibrant, metaphorical compositions blend figurative and abstract elements to challenge viewers' perceptions of memory and identity. This enigmatic style is anchored in surrealism, metaphysical art, and abstract expressionism, as seen in major works like "Hidden Thoughts Are Leaking Out."
His acclaimed portfolio has earned international exhibition space across North America and Europe, alongside unique global collaborations like Italy's "Colours of My Ice-Dreams" project.
Beyond the canvas, Kolosov drives the contemporary art dialogue as a leading critic, author, and curator. He regularly publishes essays in international journals and authored the 2022 career retrospective “Vladimir Kolosov Through the Looking Glass.” As a member of the International Association of Art Critics and Co-Founder of the VOYZX Fine Art Project, he remains an influential force in shaping the global platform for modern metaphysical painting.
