Physalis (2024) Painting by Aleksandr Volkov

Volkov Aleksandr. My creative journey started in 2018 in Tallinn, Estonia. During these years, I created around 50 artworks and developed a unique artistic technique. On the oak boards I create relief using acryl and tempera. On the relief created, I draw a 3D model (bas-relief) of any complexity using acrylic mass. On top of the bas-relief created I paint a drawing. One painting takes on average 3 months to create.

My artwork is created using fine wood, acryl, tempera, acrylic mass, various varnishes, interference enamels and pigments, gilding, metallic powders and much more.

In my understanding, an artist is a creator of new inspiring worlds. A person, who can expand and change our reality and imagination limits. Artist can transform the real world through the prism of his perception and introduce it to the viewer. It is important for me that the artwork I create, together with its visual image and characters, evokes and leaves the viewer with extraordinary impression and experience.

Five artworks are in a private collection Aleksei Ignatenko.
