Eugene Kuperman was born in Kharkov, Ukraine in 1987. He now resides in Southern California. Since childhood, Eugene enjoyed drawing anything that inspired him. Eugene has been sketching since he was three years old and painting since he was seven. He has created over four hundred pieces and thousands of sketches. His works are in many private collections including in a private collection of Robert Harris Rothschild who has many notable works in his collection by artists like: Rembrandt, Chagall, Dali, Ernst, Lichtenstein, and many more. An art catalog came out in 2012 featuring many of those artists in Robert Rothschild’s collection, as well as the work commissioned from Eugene. From 2011 to his passing in 2014, Eugene Kuperman studied with a renowned Russian artist Leonid Steele, whose works are in many museums around the world, including pieces in the notable Tretakov Gallery in Russia. One of Leonid’s former teachers was a student of a famous Russian landscape painter: Isaac Levitan and another teacher he had, was a student of the famous Russian artist: Ilya Repin. Eugene Kuperman is a listed artist and his work has been published in various art books, magazines, and newspapers..

For me, art is about inspiration. I have been exhibiting since 2006. In 2008, I traveled for a study abroad trip to Paris, France to study the old masters from life at the Louvre. I was very much inspired by the Rubens room at the Louvre as well as the two Michelangelo sculptures; Dying Slave and Rebellious Slave. Another piece that left an impression on me was Theodore Gerricault’s The Raft of the Medusa. Since late 2014, early 2015, I took a new direction in art. I took upon myself to create works of social commentary, which to any extent educate, enlighten, and promote a positive change in society.
