Conceptual Modern Art for Sale | Fine Art | Academic Art Bahrain

 

Alexandra Novik-Khamis is an established local artist creating modern conceptual art with a classic touch.

Alexandra is originally from Russia.

From early childhood, she showed great interest in painting and drawing, which was noticed by her parents, who tried to encourage her interest in the arts and develop her art skills. At the age of 10 she started attending Smolensk Arts School, and at the age of 16 entered the Department of Fine Arts and Graphics of Smolensk State University.

Five years of the University studies and self-development perfected her skills, gave her profound knowledge of the art styles and techniques, and helped to work out her own artistic style and vision of “life in the art”. As well as that, Alexandra took a number of masterclasses from famous Russian artists and started learning more about realism – her favorite artistic style.

During 12 years in Bahrain, she opened an art studio, organized several exhibitions, was recognized as one of the most successful businesswomen in the Gulf, created an educational art material book, and painted more than 500 artworks.  

Alexandra works primarily with oil and acrylic paint on canvas; however, she is known to work watercolours, ink, charcoal, clay, and cold wax as well. As a modern conceptual artist, her body of work comprises strong bold lines and bright colours that are coupled with an emphasis on space. Her specialty is creating large-scale portraits, landscapes, and still-life paintings for homes, corporate offices, vacation properties, and boutique businesses.

In a few short years, Alexandra has grown and evolved as an accomplished Modern Artist. Art collectors and dealers who follow her painting career say that Alexandra’s body of work is always evolving. 

Her oil and acrylic art is a reflection of her personal thoughts, emotions, struggles, and triumphs. A biographical visual novel perhaps might be a better way of explaining this.  With each brushstroke she releases a part of herself cleaning and purging what is no longer necessary and opening herself up to what should have been.
