Michael and Inessa Garmash
MICHAEL and INESSA GARMASH — Michael Garmash was born in Lugansk, Ukraine, 1969. He began painting at the age of three; by the age of six he started his formal education at the Lugansk Youth Creative Center. His works were sent by his teachers to a variety of Exhibitions in Ukraine, Russia, Czechoslovakia and Hungary. In 1987, he graduated valedictorian from the Lugansk State Fine Art College and started teaching there the following year. In 1996 he graduated from St. Petersburg Academy of Art at the head of his class.
Inessa Kitalchik was born in 1972 in Lipetsk, Russia. Since early childhood she has excelled in ballet, gymnastics and music. Inessa attended classes in all three disciplines and after graduating from music and ballet school, entered the Lugansk Fine Art School at age fifteen. At seventeen she was accepted as that year’s best undergraduate to the Lugansk State Fine Art School.
Michael & Inessa met at a bus stop on campus in 1990. Inessa woke the next day to her image painted all around the city surrounding her house on the road, on the walls of buildings and the walls of her apartment staircase. Michael had spent the night painting. Although he was arrested, he was not punished; even the police can sympathize with true love!
In similar spontaneous fashion, Michael and Inessa Garmash began painting together. 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 and added her own touches to the piece. 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.
Since then, Michael and Inessa Garmash have been a team creating beautiful
paintings exhibited all over Europe.
