Aleksandr has been drawing since childhood, mostly pencil illustrations for books and films, he also tried himself in the genre of portrait.
Then there was a period of passion for painting miniatures, working with acrylic paints. Currently he has devoted himself entirely to oil painting. He uses linen canvas, works mainly with a palette knife in the impasto technique. The main subjects of his works are landscapes and flowers. He participates in exhibitions, his works have been awarded diplomas.
With his painting Aleksandr tries to draw the audience's attention to the beauty of the surrounding world, first of all, to the beauty of nature. It is communication with nature that allows a person to return to himself, to recover when he is exhausted, gives an endless source of inspiration to live and create.

The artist transfers this in his paintings. This is a call to the audience - notice life around you and be happy!
Aleksandr likes to travel, as it gives an inexhaustible source of inspiration, new subjects for paintings and a bright mood for creative work. When traveling, Aleksandr tries to remember the mood and energy of the places he has visited, so that he can then express them on canvas. About his opinion, the use of dynamic impasto technique allows to charge the painting with the energy of the depicted place and the artist himself. Then the audience receives this energy when they get acquainted with the works of the artist.
