Viatcheslav Plotnikov

Viatcheslav Plotnikov, a contemporary artist, who is well-known for his striking depictions of luxury, glamour, and traditional European charm. Since relocating to Monaco in 2000, he has established himself as one of the principality's most popular and sought-after painters. His artworks depict the splendor of Paris, the French Riviera, and Monte Carlo by fusing reality with the romantic elegance of the early 20th century. This creates a sophisticated nostalgia that appeals to both collectors and cultural organizations.
Being the first—and still the only—artist to depict Monte-Carlo's complete visual history, Plotnikov made the unique distinction by establishing a genre that deeply resonates with the principality's lifestyle. By taking this creative path, he has made a name for himself as a visual historian of Monaco, creating a style that celebrates the country's ongoing elegance and appeal while preserving its rich past.
