Paintings of Children by Garmashs

Mr. Mikhail (Michael) Garmash (1969 Lugansk, Ukraine) and Mrs. Inessa Garmash (1972 Lipetsk, Russia) are two award winning Russian painters, known for working in the Romantic /Impressionist /Figurative style.

Both work on the same piece, which is extraordinarily unique in the art industry.

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.

They continue working with their daughter Polina as a model and occasionally include themselves in their compositions.

They have exhibited in Sweden, France, Russia, Ukraine, Belgium and Finland.
