Eugene Segal

Eugene Segal is one of today’s most acclaimed European realists. His work has been showcased in some of the most prestigious venues throughout Europe. But it is not the acclaim that the artist seeks; it is the passion by which he was influenced that he looks to further in his works. Influenced by the master works of renowned artists such as Rembrandt, Velasces, Van Deik, France Hals and fellow countrymen Vrubel & Serov, Mr. Segal has embarked on an a new method for his work; pallet knife painting, directly on canvas. It is this style that has allowed Mr. Segal to win the hearts of collectors, world-wide. Born in 1967 Russia, Mr. Segal made the decision to become an artist at the early age of five. It was his grandfather who influenced him after years of early childhood Sundays spent in the woods, on banks of rivers and in the fields of his hometown, painting all day long. For his grandfather, life was about enjoying the beauty of nature and the ability to see and understand all things, no matter how big or how small. It was this passion that his grandfather passed onto him and has served him well as an artist. Four years later, Mr. Segal won his first exhibition competition; a city-wide juried exhibition of young artists. But more importantly, he achieved his first honor; his paintings were re-printed and posted all over the city in commemoration of his winning works, something that most young artists never get to experience. After finishing his courses at school, Mr. Segal enrolled in Kharkov Art College.

The artist quickly received invitations from various galleries to do one-man shows. After receiving critical acclaim for his work, Mr. Segal was honored once again with one-man exhibitions in Ukraine’s capital Kiev, and in Moscow, Russia. These exhibitions were conducted in such prestigious places as the Russian State Duma (Russian Congress), in the Central House of Art (Moscow), and in the Russian Academy of Art to name a few. As his works have become more and more popular, Mr. Segal was named in the book Important Ukrainian Painters of 20th- 21st Centuries published in 2004 by the Ukrainian National Academy of Art& Science, curated by Academician B.V. Grinev.
Today, Mr. Segal resides in his hometown of Kharkov, Ukraine with his wife, Ylia, whom he calls his muse, his support and inspiration.
