Biography: Roman Baron was born in Russia, in the city of Ryazan, and began his artistic journey at an early age. Today, he creates truly unique works that are impossible to replicate, thanks to his innovative techniques. His most recognizable pieces are often painted on tree bark, which gives them a distinctive, one-of-a-kind quality—since nature has never produced two identical birches. This sets Roman's works apart from those of other artists. His tree bark paintings form compositions that tell the stories of his life, with each piece serving as a small fragment of his personal narrative. Some viewers see pain in his works, while others find tranquility. In addition to his tree bark paintings, Roman also creates larger canvases on cardboard and roofing felt, each of which is unique in terms of painting style and technique. To convey the desired imagery, he often transforms or tears the cardboard so that it becomes part of the artwork, continuing the story.
