Born in Russia in February 1979 and emigrating to the United States in 1989, Igor Zusev has spent a lifetime documenting the world through his unique artistic lens. His creative journey began at just eight years old, when a simple point-and-shoot camera sparked a passion that would evolve into a lifelong pursuit of visual storytelling.

A U.S. Navy veteran, Igor served as the ship’s official photographer, chronicling daily life aboard and preserving moments that might have otherwise been lost to time. This experience shaped his ability to capture the essence of a scene—the emotion, the tension, the humanity—with raw authenticity.

Since his military years, Igor has continued to explore photography across a diverse range of subjects, but in recent years, his artistic path has taken a new direction—mixed media painting. Layering his photographic eye with bold strokes, textured surfaces, and expressive color, Igor’s work creates an immersive experience that blends history with imagination. His pieces have been featured in galleries and publications, solidifying his place as an artist who refuses to be confined to a single medium.

At Art Party X, happening on March 22, 2025, Igor Zusev will showcase his latest works inside a massive 22,000-square-foot warehouse in Pensacola, FL. Known for its electric atmosphere and fearless creativity, Art Party X provides the perfect stage for Igor’s art, which bridges the precision of photography with the depth of painting. His work invites viewers to step into a story, to feel the weight of a moment, and to see the world through a new perspective.

Join us at Art Party XXI as Igor Zusev continues his evolution as an artist, proving that creativity is a journey—one that never stops exploring, experimenting, or inspiring.
