Igor Staritsin is a classically trained painter whose work bridges the worlds of fine art and cinematic storytelling. With a deep foundation in traditional painting, Igor has been creating art since early childhood, cultivating a lifelong passion for visual expression through oil, acrylic, and digital art. His paintings reflect a cinematic sensibility, rich in atmosphere, narrative, and emotional resonance. Since returning to Vancouver, Igor has become an active voice in the Canadian art scene. A member of the Federation of Canadian Artists since 2017, he has participated in over 50 juried exhibitions in the Gallery, earning recognition for his evocative landscapes and imaginative realism. In addition to his gallery work, Igor is an accomplished art-director, concept artist and matte painter in the film and visual effects industry. His contributions span over 60 feature films and game cinematics, including iconic franchises such as Alien, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, and Jurassic World. This unique crossover between traditional fine art and blockbuster cinema infuses his work with a distinctive sense of drama and scale.
