Pavlov is a real master of drawing figures and the use of a magnificent color pallet. Misti Pavlov was born in St Petersburg, Russia in 1967. Recognizing this ability, his mother took him to the youth department of the world famous Hermitage Museum where at age 7 was accepted into the painting program for gifted children. The General Curator of the Hermitage, Professor B. Piotrovsky, asked to become his teacher. In 1979, he began extensive studies at the prestigious art school, organized by the Academy of Fine Art of St. Petersburg, acknowledging gifted children of the arts, later to graduate as Academy’s valedictorian.

It was during his travels through Spain that Misti developed his interest in the Art Nouveau style of such artists as Gaudi and Montaner. He loves to create a romantic setting, using the impressionistic play of light to synthesize the beauty of woman or a child and beautiful surroundings. He has exhibited galleries and museums in France, the Netherlands, Spain and of course, extensively in Russia, the Ukraine and how here on Maui. His wife, Daria Collegova is also a well-known Russian artist and they frequently exhibit together.

“One becomes mesmerized by Misti’s works; the paintings become alive and ever changing, opening up and allowing the viewer to see more and more beauty and the hidden meanings within.”
