As a young boy in Argentina, Maxim Lipzer used to make his own comic books with his friends, turning paper and glue creations into works of art with his illustrations. As he grew older, Maxim’s interest in graphic design expanded, as did his interest in painting.

Though Maxim originally intended to enter the world of graphics and illustration, his life changed dramatically after he met and studied with the artist Patricia Pollito in his native Buenos Aires. Besides working with him on technique and artistry, Pollito introduced Maxim to the great masters of the modern age such as Matisse and Picasso.

In the tradition of the greatest artistic minds of this century, Maxim has set out to discover his own world. His paintings are expressions of what he finds along that exploration. Maxim believes that the meaning of an artwork speaks first to the artist, then conveys itself to the viewer. As we gaze upon Maxim's paintings, we gain some insight into this enigmatic artist's experiences, moods and sensations. We then realize how these same elements are reflected in our own lives.

Maxim currently resides in South America, where he continues to immerse himself in the works of the old world masters and translate these techniques into his own illustrative style.
