Konstantin Batynkov
Konstantin Batynkov was born in Sevastopol in 1959, and his family relocated to Moscow later that same year. From an early age, he drew extensively and attended aviation and ship modeling clubs – a hobby that significantly shaped his future artistic universe. His father, a naval pilot, exerted a profound influence on his development. Konstantin received his initial professional training at Moscow Art High School No. 50. Later, he honed his skills in private studios across Moscow and through a scholarship residency in Saint-Henri, France. However, his path to becoming an artist was not linear. He enrolled in the Moscow Institute of Civil Aviation Engineers and, over the years, worked varied jobs: an aviation instructor and engineer, a loader at a wine shop, a wind machine operator at the Mosfilm studios, an excavator at the Panticapaeum archaeological digs, and a staff worker at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts.
Batynkov began actively participating in exhibitions in 1978. His lack of a formal academic degree in fine arts did not prevent him from becoming a member of the USSR Union of Artists in 1983. In 1985, he became the Moscow representative of the legendary Leningrad subculture "Mitki", sharing their philosophy of simplicity and peacefulness.
Between 1997 and 2001, he collaborated with Nikolay Polissky and Sergey Lobanov on prominent land art projects, including the Army of Snowmen in Nikola-Lenivets and the Tower of Babel made of hay.
Batynkov is a member of the International Federation of Artists (IFA). His works have received numerous accolades: he won 2nd Prize in 2003 and the Grand Prix in 2005 at the Krasnoyarsk Museum Biennale. In 2004, he received the Special Prize of the independent "Master" award in the Graphic Art category and was nominated for the "Black Square" National Award.
He lives and works in Moscow, where his apartment-museum is also open to the public.
