Eugene Kaspin characters his artwork as expressing incredible freedom to paint what he sees, to create in his own style, and to be a passionate artist. Born near Moscow in the former USSR, he saw oppression in his daily life and even in his family as his parents discouraged his older from pursuing again career in the arts. Kaspin, distraught by the way his brother was forced to abandon his passion for a career in engineering, pledged that he would not allow that to happen to himself. He went on to graduate from the prestigious Moscow Academy of Art and establish himself as a notable painter, even painting murals and frescoes in government building around the city. However, Kaspin was only allowed to paint prescribed subjects in particularly, so he sought further freedom in the United States with his wife, Raya, in 1985.

Again, Kaspin was discouraged from continuing his career as a painter, as other immigrants said he should pursue a “more practical” profession. Again, he refused to be contained by “practical” matters and despite financial and personal difficulties, he has reestablished himself as a respected artist. His work has been displayed in the Howard E. Morseburg Galleries in Los Angeles and in Solvang and he has also been invited to participate in a number of art exhibits over the years. Kaspin’s work is collected in Russia, Europe, and around the world, as well as in his adopted home country.
