In his artistic practice, the artist combines media such as painting and graphics to create not just visual works, but entire narratives that reproduce childhood sensations and symbolic meanings that become imprinted in the consciousness for many years.

In his works, Alexander combines flat and ornamental elements with rich painting, creating an effect of layering and depth. The themes of his works-his hometown, family, traditions-become a backdrop for reflections on the processes of social and cultural formation. Through the prism of childhood, the artist explores how various signs and images pass through time, highlighting the core values that define our perception of the world as adults. This allows one to delve into the foundations of our existence, to understand the horizons of memory
and inner identity, raising questions about what it means to be a person.
