Artist Baibekov Rinat Baibekov

The world-famous surrealist artist.

Rinat Baibekov I started drawing at a young age and I really love it to this day.
Looking back, I can say with confidence that fine art has become my main language. My dialogue with the world is mostly visual in nature. I believe that everyone has the potential for creativity. As a citizen of planet Earth, I consider our planet as a perfect unique example of artistic creativity. We were given a magnificent universe with all its stars so that we could choose and create our own world.
Using knowledge and experience, you can masterfully apply the rules of composition, proportions, colors, tones, various techniques, effects, style to be considered a professional artist, but ultimately remain just a craftsman, of which there are many.
To become a Creator /artist in a broader sense, you need to strive for something more grandiose, beautiful, new, which I strive to achieve every day. Where does a person get inspiration? For me, inspiration comes from the workflow, the search for ideas in everything that surrounds me, in this amazing world with all its many facets.

I draw inspiration from the ancients, philosophies, theological ideas, all kinds of art, history and people, as well as from the greatest teacher - Nature. My father, also an artist, taught me that if you don't have a teacher, go to Mother Nature.
The richness of nature is beyond our comprehension, and each new look reveals more and more.”
Rinat Baibekov was born in Kazan (Tatarstan, Russia) in 1962 in a family of artists.

He started sketching at a very young age, attending full-time drawing courses in parallel with elementary school. After graduating from high school, Rinat was accepted into the Kazan College of Fine Arts and Design.
This, in turn, was followed by the Kharkiv Academy of Fine Arts and Design, where he specialized in monumental art - (Public Art).
Having lived and worked as an artist in St. Petersburg (Leningrad) until 1990, Rinat moved to Toronto, Canada.
In 1997, Rinat crossed the ocean again, this time to the UK, where he eventually settled.
