Surprisingly, as often happens, that the hunt draw not the hunters. And if hunters paint, there is no hunting, and landscapes and still lifes. Vladimir Romanov - the hunter. And not just the hunter, and professional: had to work and the hunter, and hunters. But fate was to become his artist, and the object of his passion was and remains hunting in its diverse manifestations.

Volodya was born in 1955. Small town Dorokhovo, where he lives with ten years of age, became his second homeland, largely determined the boy's love for the woods, hunting, wildlife. Of course, you live all your life among the majestic beauty of Central Russia, and remain totally indifferent to them. Volodya was lucky - his grandfather, a retired colonel, who started the service back in the imperial army and the last three wars, was not only very partial to the nature and draw, but unobtrusively devoted grandson in what had been given from birth. Father appreciated lingering music rut, kept hounds, and hunt for colorful, black and white trail was a holiday for the souls of all men in the family.
The warm sun of childhood disappeared over the horizon with the end of the school, the time has come to serve in the army. Well, after returning home, Vladimir began to everyday working life - he worked as a forester and hunter households in Moscow and Tula regions, in absentia, was trained in VSHIZO. The desire to capture on canvas the wonderful moments of life of wildlife that gave him the forest, not weaken, and Romanov entered the painting department of the People's University of the Arts, who in 1987 graduated with honors. Since then, his life and work became a favorite - the image of animals and hunting scenes.
