About the artist Alexei Antonov
Greetings! I am a painter, I specialize in still-lives and portraits in the Flemish Masters technique. Samples of my work are available at www.antonovart.com If you're interested in perfecting your painting ability, please visit www.artpapa.com
Alright, now that I've bored you with all this technical talk about art, maybe you'd like to know a little more about the artist. So much for art. How about the artist?I was born in Russia in 1957, and I've been trying both hands (I'm ambidextrous) at art ever since. I can remember my self from the age of two, and when I was three, I was the terror of my mother's make-up kit, as I loved to draw murals on the wallpaper with her lipstick. All through my childhood I continued drawing, and in high school, though I left much to be desired in my other classes, I excelled in art and singing. I think that I was not a good student in other areas, because I prefer to teach than to be taught. Eventually though, I learned to learn. I left Russia for the first time in 1988, when I visited Italy to study the paintings in the museums and exhibit some of my own. In 1989 I opened Rubens Gallery in Moscow, under the sponsorship of the central youth newspaper, "Komsomolskaya Pravda". I also took part in numerous exhibitions in Moscow, which were covered by the Russian Press. I have been living and working in the USA since 1990, and it's a good thing, because if I were still in Russia, I never would have made this beautiful web page for you to enjoy. This unique classical technique is practiced by very few artists at this time and is no longer taught in art schools. My works are in private collections in many countries around the world. As for me, I may paint to live, but I live to fish. When I'm not at the easel or the computer, you can find me on the lake, catching the record-breaking bass!
Or playing pool... when people ask me what you do? usually my answer is I'm an pool player... but for living I do Art Exhibits.I stopped counting when I thought I had enough exhibitions listed for my resume, but if you're really interested in all the others, let me know, and I'll count them just for you.
