Iurii Dzhinaliev
Artist, Architect, Designer

Iurii Dzhinaliev, born on January 21, 1998, in Apsheronsk, Krasnodar Krai, Russia, is a professional artist, architect, and designer. He is a member of the Youth Association of the Rostov Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia and the Creative Union of Artists of Russia.

Iurii's artistic journey began at an early age. From 2007 to 2015, he studied at a children's art school, and in 2015, he graduated from a specialized physics and mathematics high school. He later pursued higher education in architecture, earning a bachelor's degree in 2020 from Don State Technical University (DSTU), specializing in "Reconstruction and Restoration of Architectural Heritage." In 2022, he completed a master's degree in architecture at the same university.

His academic pursuits also included international experiences. Iurii participated in plein air and architectural study programs in Italy, the Czech Republic, and Germany. Additionally, he studied abroad in Shenyang, China, at Shenyang Jianzhu University, further enriching his artistic and architectural perspective.

Iurii has been practicing painting for 18 years, developing a distinctive style that blends modernism with elements of post-impressionism and pointillism. Working primarily with a palette knife, he creates textured, impasto artworks that explore themes of creation, healing, and the enduring belief in goodness. His primary sources of inspiration are nature and the human spirit.

An active participant in group and solo exhibitions, Iurii has showcased his work both in Russia and internationally, in online and offline projects. His works are part of private collections abroad as well as museum and gallery collections in Russia. 

Iurii's paintings reflect his passion for art as a tool for self-expression and communication. They aim to uplift the human spirit, foster a sense of connection, and celebrate the beauty found in life.
