Bio: Born in Moscow, Russia, in 1961, Lenny Khimishman grew up behind the Iron Curtain, where limited opportunities to travel fueled his imagination and deepened his passion for art. From an early age, drawing became his creative escape, shaping his unique perception of color and form.
After earning a degree in graphic art and technical drawing from a four-year college, Lenny began his career at a graphic design firm and quickly gained recognition in Moscow’s thriving artistic community. His work earned him a place among the city’s prominent artists, allowing him to showcase his pieces on the famous Arbat Street, a historic hub of culture and creativity.
Despite his growing success, Lenny yearned for greater artistic freedom. In the 1980s, he left Russia for Austria, embarking on a journey that took him through several European countries before finally settling in the United States. Now based in the New York City area, he has built a career as a graphic artist, contributing his talents to various Brooklyn- and Manhattan-based art firms. Today, he works for an international publishing company, where he continues to explore the boundless possibilities of digital photography, production art, and the vibrant world of color.
