About Dmitry Guskov

animal and wildlife artist

In his animal painting Dmitry shows individual, almost humanlike, character of his subject and often adds some unusual elements to highlight that personality.

Educated to a computer degree in Moscow, Russia, Dmitry was always interested in visual art. He began to draw with pen and pencil at school and paint with gouache at University and later switched to oil as his main medium.

Dmitry exhibited artwork in a number of venues (joint and solo) and received awards including the First Prize from the Festival of New Visual Culture 1997. Later he found a compromise between art and computer in web design and computer graphics and worked in this area for many years. This career brought him to Scotland in 2000 where Dmitry decided to return to oil painting after 8 years in computer design.

Currently Dmitry lives in Scottish Borders and sells his paintings worldwide.
