In 1891, a famous sculptor and professor at the Petersburg Academy of Arts, Vladimir Beklemishev, met young Malyavin in Athos and was greatly impressed with his work. Beklemishev invited Malyavin to visit him in Petersburg and later helped the young man enroll in the Academy of Arts. Malyavin was was accepted into the studio of Russian realist Ilya Repin (1892-1899).
In 1900, Malyavin traveled to Paris and caused a sensation with his debut painting "Laughter" at the International Exhibition in Paris and was awarded with a Golden medal. Later the painting was exhibited in Venice and acquired by the Italian Government for the Venetian Academy.
