Vlad Smirnoff

I was born on a train. This is perhaps a strange sign and nothing more. I'm an historian and an artist. My artistic style was developed in Montreal. In my art I'm thinking and talking about the illusiveness of the time. I like to use hints and intrigue with my audience. In 2001, It suddenly dawned on me that I must move to Montreal from Toronto. There was no reason for this; it was sheer intuition. And it was right. Very soon in Montreal my pictures were to be exhibited in the gorgeous Kastel Gallery in Westmount. Mr.Paul Kastel was one who appreciated my pictures despite me popping into his gallery unannounced from the street. Later, there were more galleries, exhibitions, and events to be enjoyed in Montreal.
