Originally from a small cozy town in Eastern Europe, Egor Shokoladov has been expressing his thoughts and impressions about the world through art as long as he can possibly remember himself. His interest and success in this area has been recognized early, so he received formal education at the School of Fine Arts, in the class with emphasis on art at the Lyceum and at Yanka Kupala State University in the Master of Arts program with specialty in Visual Art and Computer Graphics. Egor’s work can be found in galleries, museums and private collections of Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, China, Poland, United States, France, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Russia, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine. In 2020, Egor has moved to Washington, United States. His work is currently in the Contemporary Printmaking Art Inventory of the Davidson Galleries in Seattle, WA, and is regularly shown at Northwind Arts Center in Port Townsend, WA. Earlier this year, his art was showcased in a solo exhibition at Peninsula College in Port Angeles, WA, and participated in more than 15 selected group exhibitions and juried shows all over the United States. His most recent successes include 3 “People’s Choice Awards” at the juried exhibitions at Northwind Arts Center and the 2nd Prize Award in the Category “Prize of the Jury” at Deutsche Exlibris-Gesellschaft eV (DEG) International Competition 2022 in Moers, Germany. Egor is an official member of the California Society of Printmakers (CSP), Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA) and Southern Graphics Council International (SGCI).
