Multidisciplinary Artist | Architect
Nikolay Kruglov is a Russian multidisciplinary artist and architect with more than 25 years of professional experience. Educated at MARCHI and GUZ, he has completed over 200 high-end residential and interior projects and founded Lux Interiors in 2003.
His architectural background strongly influences his artistic practice, bringing structure, precision, and spatial thinking into emotionally layered compositions.
Artistic Approach
Kruglov describes his artistic practice as the “architecture of inner space.” Combining elements of Cubism and Surrealism, he uses fragmented forms, geometric structure, and layered imagery to explore memory, identity, time, and emotional states.
His works balance architectural precision with psychological depth, transforming the human figure and inner experience into complex visual constructions.
Art in the Interior
Kruglov’s works combine expressive imagery with a strong sense of structure, making them particularly effective in contemporary interiors.
His paintings and works on paper bring intellectual depth, graphic energy, and individuality to residential and commercial spaces, working especially well in modern, minimalist, and eclectic environments.
Recognition & Exhibitions
Kruglov is a Member of the Union of Architects of Russia and a recipient of the Interia Awards in 2017, 2019, and 2020, as well as the Interior Capital Award in 2006.
His artwork has been presented at ART MOSCOW 2025 and at an International Contemporary Art Exhibition in Dubai in 2023.
His works are held in private collections across Russia, Europe, the United States, and the UAE.
