About the artist Aleksandr Bolkvadze

Automatic translation

Born in Moscow. He received a technical education and worked at a military aircraft factory. In 2005 he began to study painting on his own. Over 15 years, he painted more than 100 oil and acrylic paintings, created two dozen sculptures and installations. He painted walls, furniture and decorative interior items, and also created hundreds of graphic works on paper and in Photoshop. Since 2020, I have been gradually abandoning classical materials and painting techniques, and starting to explore new forms and mediums. I often use in my works such materials as wood, metal, felt, wool, enamel, mirrors, plastic, hand-made cardboard and some mixtures of my own invention. 2022-2023 I create mainly three-dimensional, textured installations and sculptures using mirrors. An important part of my creativity is the accompanying texts for the paintings. It is the texts that unite all my works into a single universe and connect all the plots. The texts give me the opportunity to immerse myself in the paintings and see them through the eyes of my characters.
