Vanya Tuzov is a multimedia artist known to the general public for his pixel art works, made in the aesthetics of 8-bit games for early game consoles. His works are minimalist and conceptual, with elements of sarcasm and self-irony, being at the intersection of politics, sociology, psychology and philosophy.

He adopted the game component of the characters while working for three years as an animator at the Smeshariki studio. He studied contemporary art in St. Petersburg at the Pro Arte Institute. During his career, he has held more than 15 personal exhibitions. His works are in many private collections in Russia, as well as in France, Georgia, Montenegro and other countries.
