“My name is Alexandra and I am an artist. I am currently pursuing my higher education at the Paris American Academy in Paris (275 Rue Saint-Jacques, 75005 Paris, France). For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawing. First, with children’s colored pencils and felt-tip pens, then with gouache and watercolor, and later with oil, pastel, and acrylic. When I went to first grade, I started taking lessons with professional artists. The first teacher of painting, now lives in Chicago, USA. She opened the world of art and painting for me and forever took a separate warm place in my heart. I also love to absorb the experience of different artists who are ready to share their vision of the world and techniques for creating art. In whatever city or country I would not be, I always take lessons from local artists – in Rome, London, Los Angeles, Paris, Nice, Cannes.
I work with all materials and do not want to be limited to one. In my opinion, there is nothing better than creating new combinations of colors and pastels with many others individually for each of my works.
My source of inspiration is the idea that embodies the “little beauty of the world”. In my paintings, I convey the little things that have sunk into my soul, through the prism of my view of these details. I am too tired of the monumental landmarks of the cities of the world, because they do not convey any atmosphere or sensory component of those places. My collections are created with the motive of helping people feel love for this or that place for its unique tiny components, that is, to show and highlight the most ordinary details of the city or nature, characteristic only of a certain area from an unusual side.
My first personal art exhibition was held in the creative space “Kvartal” in the city of Ulyanovsk in 2019. I called my exhibition “All in all” (Everything in general), because the exhibition included works made in various genres (portrait, landscape, still life) and using various materials (acrylic, watercolor, oil, tempera, etc.). Most of the paintings are painted in the style of “realism”. My second exhibition was held at the Lenin Memorial in March 2019. The third permanent exhibition “America in Detail” opened in the educational gymnasium “DAR” in Ulyanovsk in September 2024.
In June 2025, I took part in an art exhibition organized as part of the Espace Turquoise festival, held in Port Marina baie des Anges Villeneuve Loubet (France), timed to coincide with the UN Ocean Summit “2025 UN Ocean Conference”. I presented my works on the theme of preserving the unique marine nature and its inhabitants as a dedication to the ocean as a living and intelligent being.
I also place my expositions in interiors, help implement individual projects to order, putting my artistic vision into the design of festive and public spaces.
