Galust Berian

Galust Berian is one of the premiere impressionist painters of our day. This Russian born artist is known for the impressive use of light in his vibrant still life works and seasonal landscapes.

 From an early age he studies under the tutelage of his father, a noted European artist and academician. From 1981 to 1985 he worked with late master, Sergei Bongart at the School of Fine Art in Los Angeles, as well as at Bongart’s studio in Northern Idaho.

Having established himself as an immensely talented painter in his own right, Galust exhibited in numerous group, invitational and one-man exhibitions across the country. In 1988 he was awarded the prestigious Silver Medal for Oil at the National Academy of Western Art.

Today, Berian enjoys the solitude of rural Idaho. A quiet, unassuming man, he continually strives to better himself as an artist. He believes that underlying all art there must be talent, inspiration and hard work, and that there cannot be true art if the artist works without self-sacrifice, humanity and love.

Kneeland Gallery is proud to exclusively represent the work of Galust Berian in the United States.
