Pavel Klimov

Russia
Born in 1996

In his practice, Pavel draws on personal mythologies, immersing anthropomorphic or humanoid characters in paradoxical scenarios. His works resemble dreams, fantasies, desires, thoughts, or intentions that transcend the boundaries of propriety and restraint, reflecting the idea that the animalistic nature of humans never fully disappears from their essence. He also engages with contemporary society, reconstructing the space within his works and filling it with a multitude of allusions and symbols. Pavel’s extensive travels further shape his practice, transforming it into a multifaceted and multimedia process.

With a background in street art and design, Pavel explores the aesthetic possibilities of modernism and metamodernism, drawing inspiration from such renowned artists as Pablo Picasso and Francis Bacon. His selected mediums include oil for working with color and texture, pencil and charcoal for achieving precision, contrast, and exploring form and line, as well as digital art and spray paint for experimental approaches.

Pavel Klimov was born in 1996 in Irkutsk, Russia. He earned a degree in International Management from Irkutsk State University (2014–2018) and completed studies in Marketing at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics (2018–2020). In 2023, he honed his artistic skills through courses and mentorship with Gleb Skubachevsky and Irina Shchegoleva.

Pavel actively participates in exhibitions and art fairs, showcasing an impressive portfolio of collaborations with brands and international companies such as IRBIS, LAPOCHKA, and Longidaza. He has also been invited as a guest lecturer, delivering presentations on art and the art market.

Pavel’s works are part of the collections of the Moscow Department of Culture, the “Siyanie” Contemporary Art Center, and private collectors.
