Alexander Korolyov

Born in 1962 in the village of Kazarkino, Kurgan Oblast, Alexander Korolyov studied at the Glasswork and Pottery Department of the Leningrad Vera Mukhina Higher School of Art and Design. He currently lives and works in St. Petersburg.

Korolyov outlines his figures with a single energetic stroke. Concise and sketchy, these forms can hold the entire picture together or serve as building blocks for more intricate compositions. At the peak of spontaneity, Korolyov’s art turns to abstraction which, however, still references lively and natural forms.
