ARTIST PROFILE
\nEugene Zhilinsky<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/strong>“I am a Toronto-based, Russian-born graduate architect, artist, and architectural illustrator. Sketching comes naturally to me. I’ve painted, sketched, and drawn urban views all of my life. About five years ago, I became very interested in carnets de voyage<\/em>, or the travel sketchbook genre. My sketches are accompanied by written comments, which become part of the art. Those written observations help me share interesting facts I have learned while painting and sketching. It’s also a fast genre, which is important, especially when you have a little child at home and only five minutes for your creativity.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
