Alexei is a Russian born fine artist who is fascinated by the classical painting. Classical realism is a creative process of the piece of art with the precise following of the rules and requirements which have been created during Renaissance Epoch and polished up later by the greatest artists from generation to generation.
He was classically trained in
the prominent Russian Academy of Art in Moscow, which gave him a solid
foundation for the future development and quality rarely found among
young artists. He studied the techniques of the Flemish Masters: Rubens,
Van Dyke, Snyders, and others, in search of achieving refined detail,
subtle tone and most importantly to capture the light and glow within
the canvas. His thirst for knowledge and perfection guided him to
continually strive for movement, character and elegance in still life
subject matter
After completing classical training in Moscow, Antonov embarked on a
journey to Italy. Fascinated by the Italian Masters, he went on to study
their style and compositions. He beautifully incorporated the influence
of the Italian school with his already established Flemish style. Rich
colors and exacting detail were achieved by applying numerous layers of
thin, transparent paint and glazes. Time, patience and love for art are
reflected in each painting, regardless of size.
Eventually Alex arrived in USA, where he resides now and do artistic work as well as making seminars.
More recently Antonov has moved away from the strict realism for which
he became renowned, and begun to explore a more loose and open
impressionistic style.
