Alexander Aksyonov, Украина

A professional artistr. His first solo exhibition took place in 1979, where his series of stained glass windows in the student club in Kharkov was presented. He participated in collective exhibitions of artists, competitions, is represented in permanent and personal expositions. He has been a freelance artist since 1991 Alexander has achievements in invention, music, choreography, sports. In 2017 he was the champion of Ukraine in ballroom dancing. Believes that the dance theme is underrepresented in the visual arts. Therefore, in his works often pays attention to dancers, their beauty of spirit and imagination, the beauty of the moment lived in the dance. The artist strives to evoke positive emotions by talking about various life situations using various mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink, pigments, pastels, cement, glass and more. His works center on the woman as a dancer, as the main character in depictions of love, anticipation, passion, pain, abandonment, desire and perversion. Alexander defines his works as born out of chaos, confusion and characterized by strong lines, fast, unfinished, scratchy. These intentional designs are meant to attune the viewer to hope, faith in the good and the process of creation. He attempts to convey the artist's own emotions and even human nature, not by conveying the exact image of the object, not by emphasizing the ugly, but by addressing the ambiguous boundary between perfection and incompleteness, emphasizing and directing the viewer's feelings towards the delight of striving for the beautiful
