Sergei Inkatov's expressionistic oil paintings exude vibrancy and a richly textured depth, resonating with a harmonious and positive energy. His original abstract creations have graced international exhibitions. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1971, Inkatov's artistic journey began in 1987 when he entered an art school, dedicating himself to the study of painting. He later pursued his artistic education in Tver, Russia, before ultimately settling in Estonia within the European Union (EU). An active member of the Estonian Artists Union and an Ambassador from the Academia in Estonia, Sergei Inkatov is also a proud member of Mondial Art Academia based in France.
Inkatov says about his art “The world around beauty, cities, architecture, everything that was human-created for centuries inspire me as a painter. I like city pulse, its dynamic. There’s a place for the urbanistic composition and philosophical meditations in my creative work.
My favorite means of self-expression became painting oil on the canvas. This skill gives me artistic freedom and at the same time offers new opportunities. Painting is one of the best human inventions because it allows to present the entire world in a painting.”
Inkatov’s artworks are held in the Narva Museum in Narva, Estonia, the Russian Art Fund’s Cultural Property collection, and Galeria Comas in Barcelona, Spain. In 2011, Sergei Inkatov was highlighted as one of Tallinn’s outstanding artists as part of the city’s winning bid for the EU’s annual European Capital of Culture title.
