Gennady Timchenko (born 1952), businessman, active in the energy trading
Gennady Timchenko was born in Leninakan (now Gyumri), Armenian SSR (Soviet Union) in 1952 with a father who was in the Soviet military.
In general, Timchenko is interested in characters – whether it is Ophelia, the Sphinx, Infantas, Pontius Pilate, or a dwarf, – and is said to be an empathetic participant of the story rather than a distant story-teller.

Timchenko often employs invention in this process of transformation: Infantas make friends with “dolls”, princes with leopards, Ali Baba with a crane, a toy horse with a childish and naïve expression gallops from one picture to another.
