Evsei Evseevich Moiseyenko was born August 15, 1916 in Uvarovichi (Gomel Region, Belorussia). He studied at Kalinin Arts and Crafts Tekhnikum, Moscow, from 1931 to 1935, and at the Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture under A. Osimiorkin from 1936 (1935?) to 1947. He lived and worked in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) and began exhibiting his works around 1947.

Important shows include:

  • ‘All-Union Art Exhibition’; Moscow, 1950.

Moiseyenko taught at the Repin Institute of Art from 1958. He became a member of the Russian Academy of Arts in 1973.
