Vinceslav Plotnikov was born in 1964 in Moscow, Russia. Born a talented artist, he attended a Fine Arts school and college before graduating Moscow State Art University Surikov in Portrait painting.

Plotnikov was sustained by an intense desire to know and by an unshakeable will to perfect his work: he knew how important it was to master every technique and every style, because from this knowledge he would have been able to germinate a new art.

The neoclassicism would have represented the foundations of a new structure.

The cultural experience of Plotnikov was not enchained or limited by the study of the principal figurative arts: but was receptive to all figurative expressive forms, and he mastered for example the technique of charcoal drawing, the basic structure of a picture: essential moments, before giving definition and quality to the figure.  Evocative contrasts of light and shade: harmonious alternation of high and low notes, as if of a symphony.

Dazzling is the impact of his canvas reflected in the eyes of the public: every tiny fragment communicates melodically in a charming triumph of sensations, sentiments and recollections.
