Borodin, Viktor Mikhailovich, received a fundamental artistic education. First, at the Krasnoyarsk Art College (1983-1987) in the Department of Painting, and then at the Krasnoyarsk State Art Institute in the creative workshop of easel graphics of the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, a full member of the Russian Academy of Arts, Professor V.P. Teplov (1994-1999). The artist is primarily known for his beautiful drawings in various graphic techniques. He has been quite successful in xylography, gouache, and watercolor. His style is characterized by a virtuosic mastery of brushstrokes, impeccable taste, and a well-organized composition, as well as a light and artistic approach to execution. One of the unique features of Borodin's work is his creation of graphic series. Each piece is a distinct mood in its own right, and together they form a cohesive melody. The artist infuses these works with such a sincere and personal touch that they take on a profound philosophical significance. Behind each work, there is a long, careful selection process, a search for the most acute and expressive compositional solution, which shows the author's maturity.

     In 2006-2024, Borodin V.M. served as the Chairman of the Graphics Section of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Organization of the All-Russian Trade Union "Union of Artists of Russia". Thanks to his high level of professionalism and dedication, he has been able to implement a number of large-scale creative projects, including the successful touring exhibition of graphic art "Tunguska Star" in St. Petersburg and Krasnoyarsk, which was attended by leading artists (2008, 2009), as well as the regional exhibitions of graphic art "Pastel" (2015, 2017). Borodin is a regular member of the exhibition committee for regional and national exhibitions.

     For his outstanding achievements in the field of fine arts in the Krasnoyarsk Region, Viktor Mikhailovich Borodin was awarded a diploma by the Regional Department of the Russian Academy of Arts for the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East (2012), a letter of appreciation from the Ministry of Culture of the Krasnoyarsk Region (2011), an honorary certificate from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation (2013), and a silver medal from the Union of Artists of Russia for "Spirituality.
