ILia Anossov moved to the United States in 1992, from the Soviet Union, were he was already an established artistl. While receiving a scholarship from the 'Art Project Ark' Terranova Art Found. and working with the projects founder Mihai Popa, their discussion turned to the need to re-introduce people to the ancient art of buon 'true' fresco and to re-awaken its commercial accessibility for the public. Mihai Popa and Tundra Wold 'Art Project Ark' director encouraged Ilia to begin his quest to revive the Buon Fresco in America. He began his workshops to do just that...

"...Ilias understanding of the components and team effort is true to the past masters of the art. He truly is a visionary. It's been a year since the fresco was completed. It has changed it's outlook every day of the past year. Ilias talent is beyond merely fabulous. The technique in itself is an amazing art form. Ilias interpretation with and in the materials is exquisite. The beauty continues to evolve and intensify, as the fresco becomes its intended self. Seeing past the immediate results and understanding the final outcome is truly the realm of the fresco master..." Steve Upah, Patron
