Vladislav Obukh was born in Leningrad on December 5, 1928, and graduated in monumental-decorative painting from the Mukhina school in 1953. He moved to Moldova the same year and stayed until 1990, chairing the board of the Moldovan Union of Artists from 1965 to 1972. He was named Honored Art Worker of the MSSR in 1978 and People's Artist of the MSSR in 1989.
Most of his mosaics in the archive were made with Mikhail Burya in Bender and Chișinău. With his son Pavel he also made Telegraph of the Revolution (1977), a hot-encaustic panel for the foyer of the MSSR Ministry of Communications. His work is held by the National Art Museum of Moldova and the Bender picture gallery. He later lived in St. Petersburg. Sources disagree on the year of his death: 1994 or 2001.
