Book artist, sculptor, publisher. In 1985, he graduated from the sculpture department of the Riga Art and Industrial School named after S. Erzya. After the school, he completed the graphic arts department of the Moscow Higher School of Industrial Art. Since 1988, he has been working in graphic arts, sculpture, and design. He is the author of interior designs for public buildings in Kineshma and other cities. He is passionate about artist's books. Since 1989, he has been engaged in the artist's book genre and founded the "Victor Goppe Publishing House." During his publishing career, he collaborated with many writers and poets (R. Elinin, K. Kedrov, I. Irtenyev, and others). Since the late 1990s, he has participated in all group exhibitions of artist's books. In 1997, he exhibited in Paris at the "Graf" gallery of Luc Monod (a leading specialist in livre d’artiste). According to Victor Goppe, "the publication's structure: format, technique, and size of illustrations, is determined by the text. The material should evoke an emotional response, interest, and excitement in the artist." The artist's books, sculptures, and graphic works are held in the Ivanovo Art Museum, the Kineshma Picture Gallery, and private collections in Russia, France, and the USA. He lives in Kineshma and Moscow.
