Rusakov Denis Born in 1992 in Klyuchi settlement, Omsk Region.
Lives and works in the city of Tara since 2011.

Has been engaged in artistic practice since 2010.
From 2011 to 2015 studied part-time at the Tara branch of Omsk State Pedagogical University, majoring in Art Education (BA).

I am close to the genre of magical realism. I work with the theme of the contemporary provincial landscape and life within it. My works depict plots, scenes, and stories drawn from real life—either based on actual events or infused with elements of artistic fiction. Through my work, I strive to convey the spirit of time, moment, and place, the everyday miracle, and the romance of the surrounding world.

I am one of the founders and members of the Sugrob Art Izba project, which has since evolved into a creative collective, gallery, and cultural space.
