Artist Valery Oktyabr was born on 1 April 1952 in the city of Rubtsovsk in Altai Krai. In 1976 he graduated from Novoaltaisk higher art school (with honors). Lives and works in Barnaul city in Altai region. Works in the genre of landscape, portrait and compositions. The main raw material in the artist's work - the nature of Altai. Working in avant-garde directions in the style of new romanticism, individually sees the Altai nature, saturating his paintings with cosmic sound. The originality of the artist's work attracted the attention of many countrymen and international fans. There are many publications about Valerie October - as an artist and as an interesting identity in the local and national press.A participant of regional, zone, Republican and personal exhibitions.
He is married and in his wife Helen he has found an inexhaustible source of his inspiration. Has three children, two of whom have already followed in the footsteps of his father. Enjoys Hiking.
Marvel at the industriousness of the artist, fidelity to their subject. The main attention he pays to the Altai mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes - everything comes to life in captured by the artist of the moment. Change state, times of the year remains unchanged respect to the reality, the uniqueness of each area: “Katun”, “Belukha”, “Multinskoe lake”, etc. But here and landscapes, develops from the specificity of the motif in a state where there are new concepts from the realm of the eternal: “Depth”, “Dissolution”, “Eternal”, “Space”. The artist, confirming their attachment to realistic landscape, all the while committed to the philosophical understanding of it. So Belukha mountain is transformed into a shimmering cosmic symbol - a precious crystal that attracts a man. The artist lays a regular brush and picks up the palette knife to give greater expressiveness, tension this way.
A real attraction are the works created after the trip Valeria in Italy and France. Not changed stylistically, he , nevertheless, made a classic version of travel sketches, turning them into large paintings. In them - the q-factor of a combination of a textbook of motive and confidence, as it needs to be recorded. Here, you can feel a great knowledge of artist, art history, and genuine admiration of all seen. I want to focus on the works of Valery, who could be called “romantic Nude”. They attract the attention of the audience - we haven't lost the ability to admire the naked female body. These works give the exhibitions of the salon - academic tone, due to which tired of the intricacies of contemporary art, the viewer is resting and enjoying the art. His works are very popular with people, so they are a good buy. They decorate many houses of Altai, Siberia, Canada, USA, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and Japan. Pictures Valeria Oct can be detected in a Swiss Bank, and private collections of Reagan and Bush. Work Oct they received as a gift from his girlfriend - millionaire Patricia Dougal from Santa Barbara (the city, not from the TV series), which not so long ago floated with Valery on the Katun river, and then took away at least a dozen of his works - both purchased and donated.
