An Honored Artist of Russia, Vasily Timofeyevich Losev is a graphic artist and painter, who created narrative works, portraits and landscapes. He was born in the village of Biryuchiy, Voronezh Oblast. Vasily Losev graduated from the Faculty of Painting of the Savitsky Penza Art School in 1957. He studied at the workshop of Mikhail Yemelyanovich Valukin.

After graduating and serving in the army, Vasily Losev came to Voronezh. He was fascinated with his work and made multiple trips all around Russia: the artist visited the Volga region, the Urals, Siberia, Crimea, and the Amur Oblast. He began exhibiting his works in 1959, and his personal exhibitions took place in 1984, 1999 and 2014.

Valentina Iosifovna Sumina, a member of the Artists’ Union of Russia, wrote,

The mighty love of life was overwhelming, and joy was rarely replaced by disappointment. As a teenager he was absolutely delighted and amazed to see Levitan’s ‘March’ in person after having previously come across that same painting in his textbook. This fateful episode showed him his rightful path of becoming an artist. And never ever has the artist Vasily Losev had any doubts about this path.

Vasily Losev created the work “Grain Crops are Ripe” in the etching technique. In it, the artist conveyed an amazing sense of space and the vastness of his Homeland. One of Losev’s first works in this technique was the etching “Chelyuskinskaya Dacha” that he dedicated to the Creative House of Painters and Graphic Artists in the Moscow Oblast. Other noteworthy creations of the artist are the engravings “Rains are Coming”, “Winter Day”, and “Over the Don”.

The writer Viktor Viktorovich Budakov remarked,

The works of Vasily Losev — both paintings and graphics — are a mirror of their creator. They are delicate in feeling, restrained in temperament and clear in thought, which is probably close to every Russian person.

The artist Losev Sr. manages to find such incredible motifs in the nature of Central Russia and such human characters that awaken in the viewer’s heart love for his native land, the Fatherland, its heroes, famous and simple workers. Sincerity and professionalism (high skill!), they turn the viewer into an interlocutor, a grateful like-minded individual, while also making them a better person.
