The creative personality of the founder of the dynasty, Alexander Osipov, was formed in the golden age of Russian art. He studied at the school of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, headed by Nikolai Roerich and Alexei Rylov, and at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, and continued to work in Moscow in the 1920s, where he created his iconic landscapes and portraits.

The legacy of the 60-70s of the XX century is represented by paintings and graphics by Tamara Osipova and Vladislav Fedorov. Tamara Osipova, a delicate colorist, is known as the author of compositions on the theme of the Bolshoi ballet, in the center of which are Galina Ulanova, Vladimir Vasiliev, Ekaterina Maksimova, Natalia Bessmertnova. The works of the outstanding painter Vladislav Fedorov express the very essence of Russian nature. The landscapes, portraits and genre compositions created by him absorbed the spirit of the time and at the same time are open to the perception of the audience of any era.
