As I am a big fan of myths and legends of the world, I love ethnic ornaments and often use them in my art. I love travelling and visiting new places. My grandpa did too. And there are a lot of various souvenirs, figurines, books and postcards in my family’s country house that really inspire me. It is pleasant to peruse all of them, to remember my grandpa’s exciting stories and to dream of my own.

BIO

Artist Alexandra Kraeva lives and works in Moscow, Russia. She is a full-time artist and works with graphics, acrylic and oil painting, collages, using mixed media. She creates mostly contemporary abstract and expressive art.

After graduating from Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Industrial and Applied Arts Alexandra has had contradictory experience in searching her personal style and using a wide range of techniques and media in her exploration of artistic expression.

In many ways, Alexandra’s views and preferences in style were influenced by the meeting and studies with Natalya Karpinskaya, an abstract artist, art historian and teacher of modern art and painting from New York.

Alexandra has been a regular participant at regional and international exhibitions (a 1st prize winner of the Tretyakov Gallery on-line still-life competition, January 2013) and contests. Her artworks are in private collections of Russia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and China.
