Igor Egorov: "I believe my primary task in the field of art is man's exploration of his original position in the world. Man should regain the might which created the Universe. Beauty is one of means allowing to acquire the true potentials of man" - Igor Egorov. 1964-born in Gomel, Belarus. 1979-1983 a student of Minsk Art College. 1986-1991 a student of Belarusian Academy of Arts, Minsk. 1980-1991 participates in various art exhibitions in Belarus. 1992-a personal exhibition in Subotica, Yugoslavia. 1994-a personal exhibition in Minsk, Belarus. 1995-becomes a laureate of "White Art Festival", Minsk, Belarus. 1996-participates in the exhibition "Kunst Aus Weißrußland" in Stuttgart, Germany. 1998-participates in the anniversary exhibition of the Artists' Union of the Republic of Belarus "The Art Panorama ", organized in Minsk by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Belarus. A member of the Artists' Union of the Republic of Belarus. Lives in Minsk. Married. His wife is a professional artist. "Igor Egorov went through all stages of the art education. He was born in a family of two Belorussian artists - graphics of the realistic school. He studied first in Gomel Art School, then in Minsk Art College and finally in Belorussian Academy of Arts. There were all grounds for Igor Egorov to become a realistic artist. But he intuitively turned off the "beaten track" onto the way of mystics, fantazy, allegories, put out to hard sailing through the ocean of associative search. The way from the precise life portrait, still life, from scrupulous working out of details to their arbitrary quaint combination, to vague elusive analogies is the essence of today's creative quest of the artist" - Larisa Finkelshtein, Art Critic, Minsk. "...The subject matter of his paintings is philosophic mistic realism inspired by Spanish art school. A parallel world, a world existing independently of us, which is often inspiring, is a basis of his art's philosophy. The meaning of life and death, the eternal and the transient, the infinite and the instantaneous - these are topics of Igor Egorov's canvas. His gift of artist is best expressed in portraits" - Olga Afanas Eva-Torok, Professor, Subotica, Yugoslavia.
