He studied under painter D. Karatonov in Krasnoyarsk before entering the medical faculty of Tomsk University. Alongside his studies, he attended drawing and painting classes at the Tomsk Artists Society until the October Revolution.

From 1922, Lavroff exhibited in Moscow where he became a member of the Association of Revolutionary Artists of Russia. From 1927 to 1935, he was sent to France to refine his artistic knowledge and promote Soviet art among his French communist comrades. Lavroff then presented his works in artistic salons, such as the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne in Paris. He became known for his numerous animal sculptures cast in bronze and ceramic by publishers like Marcel Guillemard. Upon returning to Moscow in 1935, he became an official artist and created monumental sculptures and busts of Soviet leaders. An exhibition dedicated to him was held in Moscow in 1982.
