Vladimir Zavalov

Mr. Zavalov's untimely death in the fall of 2000 was a significant loss for the Western art world. At 51, the artist was at the peak of his creative powers and leaves behind an enduring legacy--hundreds of field sketches and paintings that serve as a testament to his immense talent. The artist's heirs have graciously allowed Chaparral to continue to present a select group of Mr. Zavalov's paintings for sale.

Mr. Zavalov's style developed over years of self-directed study and was rooted in classical European impressionism. Despite his success in Moscow during the 1980's, his disaffection with living in a communist state motivated him to move to America. He emigrated in 1990 and settled in Idaho, where Sergei Bongart and other noted Russian painters had established a small artisits' colony. During the last ten years of his prolific career, the artist exhibited his work in reputable galleries in Bozeman, Jackson, Sun Valley, Scottsdale and Carmel.
