VORONKOV, Alexandre

Alexandre was born in Barnaul in 1961 and graduated from Ryazan Art School. He then worked as a scenery artist in a theatre. In 1984 he entered the Surikov Higher Art School of Moscow. He then worked in the studio-school of Tair Salakhov, Moscow. At this stage in his career his creative talent is developing in two directions, that of 'ideal-realism' in historical painting, stirred by his interest in and devotion to his motherland's history and that of legendary-mythological subjects, 'The Nile Legend', 'Leda & Swan' & 'The Siren'. "We are extremely proud to say to our readers that a distinctive creator, an artists by the Word of God came to us. It became clear at the diploma presentation of Alexandre Voronkov which took place at the Surikov Art School." E.Troynichnaya, Art Critic
