Konstantin Bessmertny was born in 1964 at Blagovesthensk in the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and currently resides in Macau. He is one of the most distinguished artists working in Asia today. His technical mastery, achieved after seven years of studying Fine Art in the grand academies of the USSR, combined with his detailed knowledge on a wide-range of subjects including literature, music, history and politics, lending intelligence and credibility to his work that is rarely witnessed in contemporary art. He has held solo exhibitions in the United Kingdom, Portugal, Spain, China, Hong Kong and Macau, and his works have been collected by art galleries, hotels, banks and casinos.
