"...The main need is to see all this world full of struggles and troubles in an autumn nude, when you and me are seen throughout..."

 



Sometimes dull and gloomy periods happen to our life and as a result we don't see and feel the beauty around us. Sasha Fedorov is that artist who with the God's Help tries attentively and quietly to peer the beauty in the world. The soul calmness coming from master was achieved in the long time process of emotional experience and studying oriental philosophy.

Having graduated from the Institute of the electro-technical sciences in 1978 and worked at the radio-technical research institute he realized the way he chose wasn't right.

Radio-cosmic research sciences were also interesting things to explore and think about, but it didn't give him that creativity happiness. And he gave up with starting photography work. His love to photography was for a long period of time. Capturing surrounding nature with it's bright and meaningful moments Fedorov realized that the outer side of the material world is just the mirage, which doesn't give way to expressing feelings and insight process. The main aim for the artist was to explore another side, inner side of the world. And the revelation came.

He traveled to Than-Shan Mountains and acquainted with Chinese artist Dao Shi, what was reprieve for his suffering soul.

Acquaintance with Guru Svami Nisargana in 1989 in Leningrad, determining views upon the things defined the next creativity period in the Sasha's life.

In 1980th Sasha started active work: he painted landscapes, still lives, nu. Primary used dark-ochre colors insensibly were being changed to light colors. First pictures were devoted to his childhood memories, then it transformed with perceptible sincerity into primitive-cubistic city portraits. The portraying tiny-cute subjects involve the public into the vivid world of fairy-tale, where everything is nice and happy. White color which is richly used by the painter completes the artistic image of the material world, landscape and a human being. Now it transforms into something distant, unearth and imposingly majestic.

The still lives of the Dutch masters performed a great symbolic idea-defining the work and the way of a human. Sasha's paintings are the artifacts of the today life. It is done in expressive cubism style and remind Andre Deren, Albert Marke, Gergio Marandi, Matisse and Picasso art.

The artist creates the atmosphere of the perceptible happiness, which he is satisfied with and ready to generously share with others.
