Vlady Kibalchich Russakov

Vladímir Kibálchich Rusakov, better known as Vlady, was a Russian-born Mexican painter. He came to Mexico as a refugee from Russia together with his father, writer Victor Serge. Attracted to painting from his exposure in Europe, Vlady quickly became part of Mexico's artistic and intellectual scene, with his first individual exhibition in 1945, two years after his arrival to the country.
