Mihail Aleksandrov is one of the most successful artists to have left the former Soviet Union. He works primarily in oil, tempera and watercolor.
Aleksandrov was born in 1949 in Vilnius, Lithuania and immigrated to the United States in 1980, settling in New York City. He has had many one-man shows in the States and has been collected in more than twenty countries worldwide.
His paintings pulsate with a vibrant spiritual energy. He never forgets his Russian r oots, which shape the mystical framework of his paintings. His paintings also reflect his personal belief that faith is at the center of our existence.
