My name is Vladimir Ivanovich Astapchik. I was born in 1965 in the town of Svisloch. I studied at the Vitebsk art-graf and worked as an advertising designer.

I’ve been painting all of my adult life. Currently I am engaged in painting, and I also work as a master of art crafts and as a teacher. I have diplomas, like my students. I exhibit my works in art galleries in Minsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, as well as at auctions and galleries in Europe. My works are presented in private collections in Japan, America, Korea, China and around the world.
