"I remember paintings hanging on the walls at our home from childhood. We also drew, and were going to exhibitions. It had a great impact on me. Despite the fact that I studied natural science at the university, the desire to relate to art lured me over to the other side." - Igor Rakov.

Future art dealers began their journey by selling paintings to friends and acquaintances. Gradually all this began to grow into larger orders, and soon Igor and Alexey opened their first gallery in Yekaterinburg. Today, the RakovGallery network of art galleries has more than 10 years of experience in the art business, the number of artists is constantly growing, and the number of paintings sold has long crossed the mark of 3000. Branches are located in St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Perm, and in Moscow. RakovGallery in Yekaterinburg is not just an art gallery, but a real art cluster located in a historic mansion in the city center on Plotinka, where exhibitions are regularly held, as well as painting master classes from gallery artists are organized for everyone who wants to catch up with the world of art.

"The key objectives of the project are to provide artists with a platform for self-expression and to become a leader in the sphere of art-business online." - Alexey Rakov.
