About the Artist

Danja Akulin was born in Leningrad in a painter's family. 20 years ago he interrupted his studies at the Rerikh School and, having passed a serious competition, found himself on Professor Georg Baselitz's course at the Berlin University of the Arts. Almost all publications devoted to the author mention his distinguished mentors - Georg Baselitz and Daniel Richter. However, the creative influence on Danja Akulin was rather cardinally different system of education, thanks to soviet drawing classes.

Danja Akulin's paintings are an apology of drawing as an independent artistic statement. The author deliberately limits himself in means. “A line drawn with a pencil is more interesting to me than a line drawn with a brush or a line created on the border of two color surfaces. It can convey much more information."
