Vladimir Kush was born in Moscow, Russia in 1965. Growing up in the city, Kush really wanted to leave its dull atmosphere to explore the world, so he dreamed of places far away for entertainment. se. At the age of 4, he began to draw and paint with great skill. At age 7, Kush attended art school and his talent grew rapidly. Five years later, Vladimir began to paint in different styles. This helped him develop his creative style of what he today calls "metaphorical realism" with lots of symbolism. Kush was so focused on art that in high school he went to school during the day but studied painting and sculpture at night! When Kush was 17, he went to the Surikov Art Institute in Moscow where he received most of his artistic training. Soon after, Kush was forced to join the Soviet army. During most of his military service, Kush painted murals and portraits of generals. After his military service, Vladimir studied art more and earned money drawing portraits of people on the streets of Moscow, but he still wanted to leave Russia and explore the world. In 1990, Kush sold the majority of his paintings at an art show in Cohburg. , in Germany, then flew to Los Angeles. But Vladimir couldn't find a place or art store here to display his works and only painted in a small home garage. But through his paintings, Kush earned enough money to go to Maui, Hawaii.

He then planned an exhibition in Hong Kong, China, so that these people could see Kush's unique paintings.

In the original copy, the shade of the grass in the center of all the cut trees is a nice dark green, making the grass in the forest appear alive, even though many of the trees have been slaughtered. When breeding, the color of the grass was changed to a browner shade to make it appear as if the grass was dead. Color correction with giclee printing made the painting sadder as it shows more destruction of the forest from logging. This helps to emphasize the message of poor logging results that Kush is trying to show in Redwood Cutting. Vladimir Kush is an excellent artist who is becoming more and more popular all over the world because of his creativity in his works. He plans to open more exhibitions to showcase his paintings and sculptors and one day I would like to visit one.!
