Vitold Smukrovich was born in St. Petersburg, Russia.  Early on in his childhood there was never a question of Vitold following in father’s and grandfather’s steps, painting beautiful works was a tradition handed down from his grandfather.

Smukrovich's father was Pytor P. Smukrovich (1926-1998).  He was a well-known artist, and member of the prestigious Union of Soviet Artists.  Vitold's grandfather, Pytor I. Smukrovich (1878-1942) was also a well-known artist in both Poland and Russia, and was a professor in the 1930's at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art.  He was a student and friend of famous Kuingy and Kardovsky.

At a young age Smukrovich attended the Loganson Art School, a specialized school for gifted children between 1979 and 1986.  He started his formal art education in 1986 and in 1994 graduated from the prestigious Repin Art Academy in St. Petersburg.  He studied there under V. Reihet.

Smukrovich’s has exhibited his works in several galleries outside of Russia, however he always returns to his Russia to keep his artistic inspiration.  

Smukrovich holds true to his style of lyrical treatment of his subjects, especially landscapes, flowers and romantic figurative paintings.  He combines influences of the Russian realistic school and French Impressionism with Art Deco and Art Nouvea.  His works carry characteristics of Austrian Gustav Klimt and Russian (later American) Nikolay Fechin.

He has been featured in several international exhibitions since 1994.
