About the Artist

Alexander Filimonov is an artist, architect, graduate of the Samara Academy of Architecture and Civil Engineering, winner of various architectural competitions in Russia and abroad, participant of exhibitions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Perm. One of the most important themes of the artist is the originality of Russian life, the Russian mentality, expressed in everyday objects and forms of social life.

Alexander's main medium until 2021 is graphics. He started working with mosaics in 2021. Initially, he depicted everyday objects – those that somehow surround us in everyday life, as well as things that awaken distant memories of certain circumstances or people. Images, literally assembled from pieces and fragments, should be extremely simple. These are graphic diagrams, large fragments of a giant mosaic plane. The seam between the tiles turns into a pattern line, and the broken, cracked planes form the outlines of objects.
