All artworks

Alexander Mikhaylov is a conceptual artist who combines traditional and contemporary techniques in his work. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in design and illustration, he uses oil and acrylic as his main mediums, experimenting with various techniques and materials such as gold and copper. Through brushes and a palette knife, he achieves rich depth and texture.

His style balances urban realism with allegorical symbolism. Strongly influenced by his background in design, his works often feature landscapes, heightened meanings and imagery, and a vivid play of form and color. His art speaks in the language of form, perspective, and tone, expressing freedom and a constant desire to explore and push creative boundaries.

About this artwork+

This painting by Alexander Mikhaylov bursts with vibrant colors and dynamic movement. The artist uses bright yellow and deep blue prominently, creating a vivid contrast. Splashes of orange and black add depth. There's a unique texture to it, achieved by drips and layered brush strokes. The artwork feels energetic and almost chaotic. It seems to use elements of abstract expressionism—a style known for emotional intensity and spontaneous techniques. Central to the composition is a series of bold, curving lines that might suggest motion or flow. Mikhaylov appears to enjoy playing with forms and colors to evoke feelings rather than depict real-life scenes. "The Slow Motion of the Blue Dot" invites viewers to pause and interpret its abstract landscape at their own pace.
