Michael
& Inessa Garmash...
Michael Garmash was born in 1969 in Lugansk, Ukraine. He began
painting at the age of three and by six started his formal education
at the Lugansk Youth Creative Center. His works were sent by his
teachers to a variety of Exhibitions in Ukraine, Russia, Czechoslovakia
and Hungary. Michael received first prizes at several juried Exhibitions,
including the Lugansk Regional Juried Exhibition-1977 (Best Poster),
the Czechoslovakian International Youth Competition-1978, and
the Hungarian International Art Competition of Circus Related
Art-1978.
In 1987, he graduated valedictorian from the
Lugansk State Fine Art College and started teaching there the
following year. From 1989 to 1991, he served in the army and in
1992 began studying at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art. Michael
graduated from this prestigious school five years later at the
head of his class.
During his student years, Michael started exhibiting
in France, at galleries in such cities as Paris, St. Etienne,
Avignon, Lion and Marcel. Michael also took part in the annual
Exhibitions in St. Petersburg, Russia. In addition to painting,
Michael has also excelled in the creation of stained-glass windows
and received an honorary medal for his work in the Suvorov Military
Museum in St. Petersburg.
Inessa Kitaichik was born in 1972 in Lipetsk,
Russia. Since early childhood she has excelled in ballet, gymnastics
and music. Inessa attended classes in all three disciplines and,
after graduating from music and ballet school, entered the Lugansk
Fine Art School at age fifteen. At seventeen she was accepted
as that year's best undergraduate to the Lugansk State Fine Art
School.
AN ART LOVE STORY
During his stint in the army, Michael returned to his former school
on a two-week vacation. The last day of his visit he met Inessa
at a bus station; the next day Michael didn't return to his division.
Inessa woke that day to her image painted all around the city
surrounding her house-on the road, on the walls of buildings and
the walls of her apartment staircase. Michael had spent the night
painting; he was arrested first by the city police, then handed
over to the army MP's, but he was not punished. (Even military
personnel can sympathize with true love!) One year later, Michael
and Inessa returned to the same bus station. Michael hung a bouquet
of flowers on the station sign to commemorate the place where
they met; the beginning of their "at-first-glance" love
story.
In similar spontaneous fashion, the two began
painting together. Several years after their marriage, Michael
began a painting of their daughter for a project at school. However,
their two-year old found the painting during his absence and painted
her own version of the subject. Inessa, not wanting Michael to
be upset, fixed the painting, packed it up and gave it to him
to submit. Michael handed the painting over for review and was
told it was his best work ever. He was surprised to see the "new"
painting and immediately recognized his wife's hand.
Since then, Michael and Inessa have worked together
creating paintings, stained-glass windows, mosaics and drawings.
They have exhibited in Sweden, France, Russia, Ukraine, Belgium
and Finland. They continue working with their daughter Polina
as a model and occasionally include themselves in their compositions. |
