Alexander Popoff was born in
Potsdam East Germany
in 1959. His father was a renowned Russian painter who encouraged
young Alexander to begin painting at an early age. He often traveled
with his family throughout
Russia
exploring the beautiful countryside. Inspired by the magnificent
scenery around him Alexander decided he would paint the countryside
of his beautiful homeland.
At the age of 18, he was accepted at the prestigious Moscow Art
Institute and graduated with honors. Alexander Popoff’s classical
training combined with an extraordinary talent elevated him to a
position of national recognition. Today he is considered one of the
most important Russian artists of the new generation.
Alexander Popoff manifests a broad artistic range, painting timeless
romantic scenes to nostalgic visions of day’s gone bye. While
maintaining his own sense of style, one can see the influences of
Impressionism and Flemish painting in his works. His technical
skills and intuition of color and light allow his canvases to
capture the spirit of his subjects with true emotion. Further
influenced by the renowned French painter Edouard Cortes, Alexander
also captures the street scenes of Moscow, St. Petersburg and
Paris. The coalescence of his influences,
training, and his talent have made Alexander Popoff one of today’s
premiere Russian artists. |
