Victor Britvinillustrators.ruViсtor Glebovich Britvin was born in 1955. In 1977, he graduated from the Cheboksary Art College, and in 1983, he completed a book graphics workshop at the graphics faculty of the Leningrad Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and and Architecture. He has designed over one hundred and fifty books, and many of the artist's works are held in museums and private collections in Russia, Europe, the USA, and Africa.
