Georgie Pocheptsov’s original paintings sell for thousands of dollars and have been exhibited at major galleries in Europe and the U.S. He never took an art lesson and is completely self-taught. Typically, he painted for an hour or so before school and then for another hour or two after school. It usually took him two or three months to finish one canvas, and often worked on five to ten pieces at a time. He explained, “I see it in my head, and then I draw it.”
