The Artistic Journey of Alexander Telin

Alexander Telin, a native of Moscow, has carved a niche for himself in the art world with his "deep pictorial art." This term encapsulates his approach to creating images that suggest narratives, each piece forming part of a larger series. Telin’s works are a product of prolonged contemplation and experience, resulting in paintings that are both thought-provoking and visually stunning.

The Unique Style of Telin’s Paintings

Telin’s paintings are distinguished by their bright, saturated colors and impressionistic strokes. His technique involves short, careful brushstrokes that create surreal or whimsical images. Human features in his works are often stylized or distorted, adding a layer of intrigue. The use of translucent materials further enhances the depth and complexity of his pieces.

The Role of Color

Color plays a pivotal role in Telin’s art. He believes that color drives the direction of each piece, allowing him to explore the transformative and expressive qualities of saturated hues. Small dashes of color articulate forms, while delineated patches of reflected light and deep shadows add further interest.
