MEMBER OF THE CREATIVE UNION OF ARTISTS OF RUSSIA (TSHR)

Ryan Valdem is the creative pseudonym of contemporary Russian artist Vladimir Khlyabich. He was born in 1989 in the small town of Pyatigorsk. Ryan strives to ensure that the ideas embodied in his paintings push the boundaries of Modern Art. He puts the light and positive energy into each of his paintings. Ryan uses the best materials that the market can provide to create museum-quality paintings. He uses only high quality paints.

Ryan is a full time professional artist with many years of experience. From early childhood he likes to paint, in this he found himself. One thing that makes him feel really cool as an artist is the connection that he shares with others through his paintings. In the end, art can be as personal to a viewer as it is to an artist. Having a penchant for creativity, Ryan entered the institute of design. In his studies, Ryan received classical foundations of academic painting, perspective and composition. After graduating from institute he didn't connect his life with design, but completely focused on creating his paintings.

His main source of inspiration is music. Each painting is an adventure that begins with the first thought and ends with the last brushstroke, and each movement creates life on white canvas. It can be a play of light and shadow, some kind of silhouette. Everything else is just a frame that helps to emphasize the main theme. Ryan in his paintings gives a sense of light in every movement to convey the power of emotions. His favorite artists are Pollock, Andy Warhol, Picasso and many others.

Ryan explored the techniques of the old masters and adapted their foundations to more modern and abstract ways. He works with acrylics and oils., His works are very strong. Ryan can focus on the little things, and he can achieve the overall composition of the painting with free movement, it depends on what he wants to achieve and how to influence the overall impresson of the work itself. The connecction between the artist and the viewer is created not only through his paintings but also through his story.
