Leo Kublanov is a graphic artist. He works in pen and ink, charcoal, pencil, sepia, gouache and watercolor. Kublanov was born in Moscow in 1946. His childhood took place in a historic neighborhood near Red Square in Moscow, Russia. He graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute in 1972 with a degree in Architecture.

Kublanov worked for 20 years in Moscow Architectural design firms and became a member of the Architects’ Union of the USSR. He has been a member of the International Union of Architects since 1981. In 1985, Kublanov left the Union to become a graphic artist. Since then, he has participated in personal and group exhibitions in Russia, United States, and Western Europe. His works are in many private collections in Russia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, USA, Israel, Italy, Poland, France and Japan.

Kublanov's architectural background gives his work a clearly articulated composition; he does not strive for generalization or for the abstract, but rather he allows his emotions and observations to develop a poetic image of his subject. His work strikes a responsive chord in all people who find their world being destroyed by modern technology.
