"...YURIY KRYAKVIN IS A LONE ARTIST. IT EXPLAINS A LOT BOTH IN HIS ARTISTIC LIFE AND REPRESENTATION OF HIS ART."
Alexander Borovskiy
Yuriy Kryakvin is an artist, sculptor who worked in the spirit of the Cubism art movement. A lot of masterpieces of the french modernism, like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, also Russian Cubofuturism masters influenced his artistic manner. In the 70–80-s, Kryakvin painted characters and residents of Valaam. He created picturesque and sculptural portraits of his contemporaries. Solo exhibitions of the artist were held in Dusseldorf, New York, Japan, Finland and Russia. The majority of his works are in collections of Russia, Germany, Belgium, the US and France. Part of his artworks are in the Russian State Museum.
