Biography[]

Vasily Klyukin was born March 3, 1976 in Moscow. His father was Vasily Ivanovich Klyukin, writer, historian, Doctor of Historical Sciences; his mother was Yelena Isakovna Klyukina.

Entrepreneur activity[]

He graduated from the Finance Academy under the Russian government and started his banking career to which he devoted many more years.

Starting 2009, Klyukin was involved in real estate development, particularly in the reconstruction of buildings and changing the purpose of the property.[2]

In 2011, he completely abandoned entrepreneurial activity, got rid of his assets and decided to devote his life to art.

Charity[]

Vasily Klyukin has long been involved in philanthropy, supporting a large number of organizations, and his sculptures are sold at charity auctions of the most important foundations, such as UNICEF, WWF, Naked Heart, amfAR, Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, Prince Albert II Foundation, Andrea Bocelli Foundation.[3][4][5]

Creative Career (Sculptures)[]

Klyukin works in areas such as architecture, abstract and kinetic sculpture. He works in his signature technique, where the sculpture plates are assembled without fasteners or welding, forming a three-dimensional piece. This principle is the basis for the sculptural works from the In Dante Veritas series, presented in the courtyard of the Mikhailovsky Castle of the State Russian Museum in 2018.[6]

He designed the Golden Madonnina statuette for the Milan Design Week 2017, and in 2021 he designed the award for the Russian edition of PEOPLETALK.[7]

Art history books about Klyukin's work are published by such global publishers as Skira Editore (Milan); Palace Editions (The State Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg); Verlag für moderne Kunst (Vienna).[8][9][10]
