Andrei Ribakov
“I have been drawing with passion since childhood, so I went to art school. Then I studied at the Moscow Graphic Arts Institute, where they taught not only painting and graphics but also photography and book design. This is why I did graphic design for a while before finally chose painting.”
— Andrei Ribakov
