Over the years Andrey Nikolayevich Kovalchuk’s work and talents have earned him both respect and a prestigious title. He is a sculptor, holds the title of People’s Artist of the Russian Federation and is the man behind a series of images depicting historical characters - including poets, artists, public figures and religious leaders - in Russia. Drawing on the traditions of realist art, he also creates portraits and small-scale sculptures. Andrey Kovalchuk transforms the beauty of natural forms into stunning works of art, emphasising the clarity of thought typical of classical sculpture. Andrey Kovalchuk’s work can be found in The State Tretyakov Gallery and other Russian museums, as well as in private collections in France, Germany, Belgium, The United States, Japan and other countries.
