Pavel Sokov

Pavel Sokov’s work can be described as impressionistic realism. Specializing in oil painting, he began painting at the age of 7, and began selling professional portraits at 17. When he was only 24 years old, Sokov was approached by Time Magazine to paint the cover of the Time’s illustrious Person of the Year edition. Pavel Sokov’s work has been featured in many publications, and has won several awards including, CIRCLE FOUNDATION’s Artist of the Year Award, BOLDBRUSH’s Best In Show.

Born in Moscow, and having immigrated to Montreal at the age of 10 Pavel Sokov cultural roots are emanating through his impressionistic work. Though Sokov’s fascination with figures remains the focal point of his art, he is on a constant quest to explore new ways of perfecting his craft while maintaining the integrity of his deeply thematic world.

His work can be found in the private collections of the Bahrain Royal Family, Jordan Royal Family, and the Saudi Royal Family.

Sokov currently resides in Montreal
