New artist to the Westport River Gallery, Alexandrina, has many international roots, showings and awards. Graduate of the I. Repin institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, she paints with passion, history and love. She loves to follow the architectural form within her paintings of a city or seascape, but infuses many with the people they impact. Alexandrina has traveled all around to many places like England, Paris and the United States, which reflects in her work of the Eiffel Tower (12x24, see left) and the European streets.
Alexandria has been an active participant of exhibitions stemming back to 1996. Both group and personal exhibitions have graced almost all European countries and in more than 50 cities like Florence, Vail, San Francisco, St. Petersburg, Russia. Her work can be seen around the world including the Westport River Gallery.
Paintings by Alexandrina have been presented as gifts to several leaders of European countries. In June 2010, a former Russian Premier presented former Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and George Shultz, with an original painting by Alexandrina at Stanford University as a “thank you” for giving him a tour of Silicon Valley. "I love old cities. They are like old people: if you take a closer look, you will see a beauty of youth, a charm of bloom and a nobility of age-old traditions." The pictures are 20x16, 20x20, 24x18 and 24x16. Click for more.
