As a result, the family disintegrated, the child was not needed by either the father or the mother, and he was taken "for upbringing" by the relatives on the father's side - aunt and grandmother.
The women loved little Ilya, they tried to give him all the best, to the best of their ability. Knowing that the pupil dreams of an acting career, seeing that he has a bright talent, they tried in every possible way to develop him in this direction. In addition to secondary school, Ilya attended a music school, sang in a choir.
Gauguin could not get into a specialized university for a budgetary place, and there was simply no money for paid education. For some time he had to deal with network marketing, then he managed to get a place of usher in one of the Moscow theaters. And this place became a kind of ticket for him to the world of art. Ilya Solntsev even managed to become an acting teacher at one of the schools for young actors. Colleagues noted his professionalism, ability to get along with the charges.

During this period, Gauguin Solntsev worked as an entertainer, an assistant presenter in a popular television program, but he wanted more. Attempts to perform solo did not bring the desired result, and then he did the impossible - he attracted attention with the help of a bright and scandalous image. Gauguin Solntsev appeared at the recording of one of the TV programs in an image bordering between Dracula and Merlin Manson.

Theater Gauguin Solntsev
The scandal drew attention to Gauguin, offers to take part in television programs literally fell on him, respectively, and his income rose. Then Solntsev decided to make another dream come true - to open his own theater. In the mid-2000s, he managed to do it.
Gauguin Solntsev presented his project - the Moscow theater "Absurd" to the public as an "alien theater", a theater of horror, assuring potential spectators that honored and folk actors would play on the stage.
The theater critic of the "old school" was outraged by the very first performance in the theater "Absurd", but also those who admired it. Gauguin Solntsev achieved what he wanted - he was again on the pages of newspapers, a scandal flared up around him again, his ratings jumped to the skies again.
The playbill of the Moscow theater "Absurd" is quite extensive - it includes over 30 productions. It is almost impossible to buy tickets, on the official website of the theater there is always a note opposite each performance - “tickets sold out”. And this is a success - albeit scandalous, albeit not attractive to everyone, but success.

But he again achieved a certain goal - they write about him in the media, whole issues of top TV shows are again dedicated to him and his girlfriend, they talk about him, they are interested in him. And this is success again!
