Vladimir Pentukh was born in 1965 in the old Russian town of Chernigov. In 1989 he graduated from the workshop of B. Borisov, at the Savitsky Art School in Penza.

In 1995 Pentukh graduated the department of easel painting at the Art and Design Institute in Kharkov (workshop of the People's Artist of Russia Yu. Vintayev). After graduation he started working in different genres of easel painting. His unique talent emerged while exploring landscape painting. His attraction to landscapes came from the views of Ukranian and Russian villages lost in a time almost forgotten, and preserving their patriarchal character.

V. Pentukh has special feelings for Russian North country. His landscapes are painted with thick oil strokes which realistically sculpture the image of Northern villages. His numerous trips to the Ukraine, Crimea, Karelia, Arkhagelsk, Vladimir, Yaroslavl and Samara regions enabled Pentukh, in keeping with traditions of Russian landscape, to find his own language in conveying what is familiar and clear to every Russian person.

Pentukh has been a member of the Union of Artists of Russia since 1996. He then began teaching special subjects at the Savitsky Art School in Penza. Pentukh participates in regional, national and international exhibitions. His personal exhibitions have taken place in Moscow, Samara, Toliatti, Novokuibyshev and Penza. The works of Vladimir Pentukh may be seen in art museums in Penza, Samara, Toliatti, and in the private collections of many Russian and world-wide collectors.
