Son of a popular Siberian artist Valery Oktyabr / Валерий Октябрь, Денис Октябрь was born in a Russian city Novoaltaisk to continue the family artistic tradition.
In 1992 Denis finished Artists School and in 1997 graduated Artistic College of Novoaltaisk.
Oktyabr paints portraits, landscapes, genre pictures.
In his paintings Oktyabr tries to abstract his mind and brush from shapes and stereotypes to reflect feelings, emotions and to illustrate the sacred process of perception and meditation.
Shapes and colors of his paintings are perfect instruments to explore and embody ideas and sensations.
Looking at his pictures one feels that there is a vision of the way things are intended to be, but never are.
Denis Oktyabr, the artist who lives and works in Altai for a great while, in his arts keeps away from social debates, industrial imagery, topical problems of modern society and controversial points of contemporary art concepts.
Being physically and mentally isolated of the major developing centers of art life, the artist stays devoted to academic painting.
Nevertheless Oktyabr systematically develops and works on his own style and unique system of artistic language, however, avoids breaking the frame of realistic conception of representation.
The artist apparently feels as standing apart from any speculative art movement; he prefers meditative view and systematic, demanding intensive work on his own artistic system to revolutionism and intensity of emotions.
Such views are also determined by amazing calm nature of the artist’s homeland.
That’s why one can mark out landscapes as the central line in his oeuvre.
