Eugene Garin

Eugene Garin (30 November 1922, Odesa, Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic – 14 June 1994, California, United States) was a contemporary seascape artist.

Influenced by the Russian painter Peter Effremovich Fedatov during his youth in Odesa, Ukraine and later by the works of I. K. Aivazowsky, Garin has combined the traditional beauty of European art with contemporary techniques developed by his own hand.

With a prominent career extending over four decades, he broke through barriers in seascape painting technique that had restrained artists for years.

His compositions are unique and varied, from shipwreck scenes, to romantic moonlit ocean breakers, to sun-drenched seascapes at dusk, to misty coastal coves.

The vivid emotional impact which Garin creates excites their imagination and stirs our inner desire to challenge its eternal domain.
