Valery Slauk – the embodiment of myths and a genius of compositional thinking (30 photos)
The inhabitants of the other world are dangerous and mysterious. But if you look from a different angle, then the Slavic evil spirits are nothing at all. The Belarusian illustrator Valery Petrovich Slauk, part-time graphic artist and professor at the Academy of Arts, personally helps to verify this.
Slauk was born in 1947 in the Vitebsk region. After graduating from the Theater and Art Institute, he studied with Vasily Sharangovich, a famous Belarusian graphic artist.
