My name is Feliks Kaparchuk, I was born in 1990 in Rostov, Russia and moved to the United States in 1997. My love for art began in middle school, first with drawing, which quickly transitioned into painting after taking my first art class freshman year of high school. I have been painting with acrylics ever since then, about 14 years.

I had the opportunity to study art and design at Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon, Washington for about one year, where I learned how to mix color and find my style although I am mostly self-taught. My main medium is acrylic on canvas, but I also enjoy painting on wood panel and vinyl records. I love to add vibrant and whimsical colors to each piece which is why I would call my painting style a mix between realism and impressionism. I love to use bright colors and focus on the details of each painting that really bring the piece to life and makes each one unique. Over the years, I have developed my own blending technique using a mop brush to make my backgrounds and colors blend smoothly.
