All is Vanity (2004) Painting by Vladlena Otochina

Alexander Lyamkin: Was born 1964, in Siberia (Russia). Graduated from Art College, and also self-taught through years of creative and personal development. The artist's very "light" surrealism with a touch of humour, sometimes even grotesque does not leave any gloomy feelings. Alexander’s works, highly prized by collectors, are held in personal and corporate collections around the world. During the years of his creative life Alexander has done about 80 artworks. Original paintings are fully hand-painted by the artist with high quality oil paints on high quality canvas board. It is signed on front in the lower right hand corner. It is also dated and titled on the back. The fully integrated painted edges are staple free and do not require framing. All painting are multilayered. Each layer is given time to dry out, that have a favourable effect on the further safety of a picture. Elegant style, lambent humour and perfect quality of Alexander’s artworks fascinate and astonish. His paintings resemble a good book: if once you read it you will go back to read it over and over again each time disclosing something new in it.
