Yuri Kalyuta, Honored Artist of Russia, living in St. Petersburg. It is called the heir to the traditions of the classical school of painting that dates back to the Imperial Academy of Arts. Their teachers Yuri Kalyuta calls Mikhail Vrubel, Valentin Serov, Petrov-Vodkin, but the first place puts Spanish painter Diego Velázquez (1599 - 1660).

From him - underlined attention to the spiritual world portrayed personality, ability to accurately convey the appearance of the model, sincere admiration of the artist in front of faces and figures portrayed. No wonder among its "virtual teachers" creative idols Kalyuta reckons Velazquez and Rembrandt, Serov and Petrov-Vodkin, wonderful wizard Romanian Corneliu Baba, whose exhibition, seen 20 years ago, to this day, according to the artist, stands in front of him . Yuri Kalyuta particularly appreciates "careful attention to the man, and certainly innovative features that each of these authors contributed to the development of portraiture."

Textured paintings are combined with pastel versions of these same canvases and drawings that accompanied their creation, drawings often executed in mixed media, seamlessly connecting the charcoal and chalk, sepia and sanguine. The artist continues the tradition of the masters of the Renaissance.

"This realistic art always in motion, always in search of new forms, but this search should not be an end in itself ..." - says of his work himself Yuri Kalyuta.
