Alexander Koltakov

I am Canadian painter and sculptor, work with acrylics and oils on canvases, also create plaster on wood reliefs, or three-dimensional paintings, as I call them. I am truly passionate about the amazing beauty of nature, processing it through my eyes, my mind and my hands to the stillness of canvases and plaster, aspire to express not the picture, but the life itself, without forgetting the fabulousness of human presence in it. On canvases I work with brushes, palette knifes and finger touch when needed. My 3D paintings consist of the plaster figures, sculptured and carved on the base of the wood frame, finally covered with acrylic colors, creating spatial view, as real, as color - induced.
