Alexander Petrov, Russian Soviet, born 1957, watercolor painting on paper depicting a seascape. Signed lower right. Alexander Konstantinovich Petrov is a Soviet and Russian animator, screenwriter, producer, and director. Member of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Culture and Art. Winner of the Oscar 2000 for the cartoon The Old Man and the Sea. A characteristic feature of his work is the technique of animated painting. The technique in which Alexander Petrov draws his artworks is incredibly complex and is called finger painting, that is, it works not with transparent plastic, but on glass. Having squeezed out the paint, Alexander paints with his fingers, only in exceptional cases he uses brushes. The landscapes and seascapes of Alexander Petrov are very different. Dry, sultry, melancholy, Russians imbued with an implicitly perceived drama. Radiating heat and sea moisture Crimean. One of a kind artwork.
