I'm Alex Zolotov, a self-taught artist drawn to, it seems, endless possibilities of making images, exploring ideas, and seeing familiar things from a different perspective. My work moves between portraiture, nature, mythology, everyday subjects, and abstraction. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums and techniques, letting each subject suggest its own approach and direction. Some works are carefully observed; others are more expressive or playful.
Artist Statement
I'm not an academic, but I would say that I'm interested in how art can capture more than what is immediately seen. A face, a landscape, a passing moment, or an idea drawn from history and mythology can each become an invitation to explore character, emotion, memory, and imagination. Rather than committing to a single subject or style, I enjoy following my natural curiosity. Experimentation is an important part of my process, and working across different materials gives me the freedom to look at each piece with fresh eyes. This collection is an ongoing record of that exploration: a place for finished works, studies, experiments, and unexpected directions. Most of all, it reflects the simple pleasure of creating.
