Tugarinov Mikhail Alexandrovich was born in 1965 in the town of Dmitrov. Now he currently resides in the village of Fedoskino.
In 1971 the artist finished the Fedoskino Art School, where he studied under such well-known Fedoskino masters as Antonov and Chizhov.
Mikhail Alexandrovich paints in oils sticking to the style of Fedoskino lacquered miniature. He likes to depict architecture and winter landscapes.
M.A. Tugarinov supposes that his technique of painting resembles the style of the other famous Fedoskino painter Piotr Puchkov.
Mikhail Alexandrovich paints his composition mostly in cold tones, applying traditional painting methods. He cuts mother-of-pearl into a box by himself. This process is very difficult and not many painters can do it.
Beginning to paint a new composition he intends to create a piece of art that people will like and get pleasure from the final result.
The artist thinks quality of painting is the most important element in work. He always painstakingly elaborates and paints every minute detail of a composition and may be that's why his artworks look extremely realistic.
Mikhail Alexandrovich doesn't like to complicate his compositions with unnecessary elements, he even supposes it is
better not to complete work than make it bulky and pretentious.
It is interesting to note that in his childhood M.A. Tugarinov didn't want to be an artist. He entered the Fedoskino Art School because the most of his friends did it and he didn't know where to enter. Under the influence of his talented teachers in the Art School, Mikhail Alexandrovich understood that the art of lacquered miniature is his vocation.
In his free time the artist doesn't like to paint. He prefers to play volleyball and fish.
Mikhail Alexandrovich Tugarinov wishes the admires of his art
good health and prosperity.
