Stanislav Krupp is a contemporary Russian artist known for his unique style, which he defines as Gothic modern or magical realism, inspired by the mysticism of medieval and Eastern art. Born in 1959 in Kamensk-Uralsky in Russia’s Sverdlovsk region, Krupp graduated from the Sverdlovsk Art College in 1984. He has been actively exhibiting his work since 1979 in both Russian and international venues. His paintings, which he views as direct allusions to the Russian Silver Age, are held in over 400 private collections across Russia, Germany, Sweden, Israel, England, Greece, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States.
Krupp’s artistic influences span several historical styles and eras, including the Russian and Northern Renaissance, the European Middle Ages, the Russian Silver Age, Gothic, symbolism, the Viennese Secession, and Art Nouveau from Russia, Poland, and the Czech Republic. He collaborates with galleries in Russia, the Czech Republic, and Germany, contributing his intricate, mystical artworks to audiences captivated by his homage to these historical influences.
