When it comes to a public person, it should be presented clearly and unambiguously. Artist. Historian. Philosopher. Theologian. All these professions are not alien to Sergei Zagraevsky. This is eloquently evidenced by the results of his labors.
Childhood and youth
A rare person can say to himself that he was born in the right place and at the right time. All TV viewers and many owners of social media accounts know such representatives of the human race. They are being watched. They are imitated. They are being criticized. Among such personalities is Sergey Volfgangovich Zagraevsky. In conversations with journalists and just curious citizens, he positions himself as an artist, art critic, theologian and businessman. To this list it should be added that Sergei goes in for sports and writes fairy tales for children.
The future author of scientific and literary texts was born on August 20, 1964 in a family of creative intelligentsia. Parents lived in Moscow. My father was engaged in the restoration of monuments of ancient Russian architecture. Mother, playwright and poet, was a member of the USSR Writers' Union. The child grew and developed surrounded by care and attention. He learned to read early. The house housed a large library and the boy was not limited in his choice of books. At school, Sergei studied excellently. More than any other subjects he liked mathematics. When the time came to choose a profession, Zagraevsky decided to get an education at the Moscow Automobile and Highway Institute.
Professional activity
In order not to be surprised at the abrupt changes in the field of activity, you need to know that Sergei had excellent physical fitness and phenomenal performance. In 1986, having received his diploma, he remained in graduate school and took up the systems analysis of economic processes. Conducted seminars for students at the Department of Applied Mathematics. In the early 90s, like many scientists, he was engaged in the banking business. The crisis of 1998, as they say, knocked Zagraevsky out of the saddle. He had to retire and take up other topics.
While still a student, Sergei studied at the courses of the famous artist Tatyana Mavrina. Even on the busiest days, when he had to do business, he continued to paint, make sketches and handwriting. Working on sketches and still lifes took a lot of time, but also brought a feeling of deep satisfaction. The artist's work left someone indifferent. And some people liked the pictures. Connoisseurs of painting willingly acquired works by Zagraevsky for personal and corporate collections.
Recognition and privacy
For his selfless work and selfless devotion, Zagraevsky received the title of "Honored Worker of Culture of Russia" in 2009. The historical novel for children, The Architect of His Majesty, written by Sergei Volfgangovich, won the Booker Prize.
The personal life of the artist and writer has developed well. Zagraevsky lives legally. The husband and wife raised and raised four children.
