Igor Koutsenko was born in Evpatoria, a resort city on the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea.
Igor was educated at the Penza School of Art and received rigorous training in the old traditions
of realist art.
Koutsenko immigrated to the United States in 1992, settling in Oklahoma City, where he taught
fine art at the University of Central Oklahoma. He participated in a number of exhibits
throughout the United States. In 1998 Koutsenko visited Southern California and was attracted
by its beautiful scenery and climate. Since moving to California, he continues to produce original
work at his private studio.
Igor’s work is in the collections of the Riverside Art Museum, Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company,
Institute for Specialized Medicine and the Hoffman Trust collection, as well as numerous
distinguished private collections.
