Biography
Born on December 9th 1974, in Oleksandrivsk, Luhansk region, Ukraine[3].
In 1980 his family moved to his grand-father's native village of Voronkiv, near Kyiv. Because of his grandfather, Zemlyankykh became devoted to nature, especially birds. His childhood dream was to become an airplane pilot, but eventually he switched focus to ornilogy and art.
Zemlyankykh wrote his first articles on the topics of birds while still studying in school. From the moment he started to draw, it was exclusively birds. From 1992 to 1993 he served in the Armed forces of Ukraine (engineering unit). Starting in the late 90’s he worked in the I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology[4] and took part in numerous scientific expeditions across Ukraine as a laboratory technician. It was after this, that he began his work as illustrator. The first illustration of Zemlyanskykh's to be published, a Northern Lapwing, appeared in “BirdLife Ukraine” at 1996. After that he cooperated with Kyiv Natural History Museum, The Kyiv Zoo, the Kyiv House of Nature, and The Kyiv Botanical gardens. Since the beginning of the 2000’s, Zemlyanskykh has worked exclusively as an artist and illustrator. On top of his illustration work, he volunteers in the rescue and treatment of wounded/sick birds[5].
He works using various techniques: tempera, acrylic, oil.
Honorable citizen of Boryspil district since 2008.[6]
