Among the many techniques Vladimir Kordiukov has mastered, pastel stands out as one of his most powerful and expressive mediums. His work with pastel is not secondary or auxiliary — it is a full artistic language in its own right, capable of carrying emotional depth, rhythmic dynamism, and material richness. Whether depicting the human figure, still life, or symbolic interior scenes, Kordiukov uses pastel to build form through gesture, layering, and bold, intuitive mark-making.

Presentation
Vladimir Kordiukov (1953 - 2009) was a distinguished Soviet interdisciplinary artist, jewelry designer, painter, graphic artist and sculptor. His artistic vision combines diverse materials and techniques, reflecting influences from postmodernism, suprematism and cubism. Kordiukov's visual language is characterized by an exploration of form and color, with surface reliefs adding depth and spatiality to his creations. Throughout his career, Kordiukov gained widespread recognition for his innovative methods, participating in over 100 international exhibitions. His works pushed the boundaries of material experimentation while maintaining a connection to the formal traditions of Soviet art. Kordiukov's legacy is preserved in museums and private collections worldwide, with a significant portion held in Berlin, Germany. His works are housed in the collections of the Vologda Art Gallery, the Vologda State Historical, Architectural and Art Museum, the State Russian Museum, and art museums in Kostroma, Sokol, Yaroslavl, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, Barnaul, and Pskov. His art is also part of the collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA and the Seoul Museum of Art in South Korea. Additionally, his creations are held in private collections in Russia, Finland, Germany, France, Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic and the United States.
