Semyon Agroskin
Semyon Agroskin was born in Moscow in 1961. His passion for art began at an early age: from 1974 to 1977, he studied at the Krasnopresnensky District Art School. He received his professional education at the Moscow Architectural Institute (MARKHI), graduating in 1984 with a degree in Industrial Architecture. This architectural background largely shaped his artistic method, instilling a strong emphasis on structure, composition, and the internal logic of space.
He began active exhibition work in 1987, and his first solo exhibition took place in 1991 at the Marat Guelman Gallery in Moscow. Semyon Agroskin is a member of the Moscow Union of Artists, the Moscow Union of Architects, and the International Association of Art (AIAP UNESCO).
He lives and works in Moscow, while also maintaining close ties with Jerusalem and Paris.
