Alexander Petrov

Born in Leningrad in 1951 into a family of artists, Alexander graduated from the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. The artist passed away in 2009.

Alexander Petrov’s artistic manner is particularly expressive and instantly recognisable: most of his paintings feature impasto strokes and highly saturated, dazzling colours. The artist’s creative universe is comprised of bizarre and whimsical narratives and populated by imaginary, at times aggressive characters.
