Vadim Garine
French
Vadim Garine was born in 1970 in the Tian-Chan, foothills of the Himalayas on the border of China and Kazakhstan. His meeting with Archimandrite Zenon, an internationally renowned iconographer monk, is crucial in his artistic life. He acquired from him a knowledge of different ancestral techniques, including tempera, encaustic, gilding. In 1996, Vadim Garine moved to France. The school of art restoration has allowed him to enrich his knowledge of ancestral techniques and he opened his own workshop of creation and restoration.
From 1999 to 2005, Vadim, while restoring the gilding of the Cathedral of Chambéry, he received his first order of icon (4m high) for the church of Colombier Sonnieux, then for the church of Megève. He began to paint 700m2 frescoes of the church of the monastery of St Michel du Var (which he will complete in 2017), and the chapel of the Transfiguration of Entrecasteaux (Var). He teaches at the Philocalia Institute.
He exhibits personal and contemporary works in galleries with supports such as wood, vegetable weaves, paint, cardboard, gilding, aluminum.
