Decoding the language of art

By on April 29, 2010

A maitre artist once told me that art is a form of creative expression that hones a person’s ability to widen his/her vision, letting an idea float in the mind and interpret with a synthetic, analogical approach.  Are artists born or made?  "Both," according to art professor Sasha Antonov who comes from  Saint Petersburg, Russia, home to 100 world renown theatres and more than 700 historical museums.  

 

Sasha earned his degree in fine arts in Russia where he has worked as a fine arts teacher before becoming a member of the artists’ union.  He actively joined personal art exhibitions in Saint Petersburg, Germany, Netherlands, and Austria before coming to Japan.

 

Sasha believes that no boundaries exist in learning arts "as long as you approach it with an adventurous, free-spirited attitude."  If parents and children would like to unlock the creative streak within them, here’s the chance to find a platform to do exactly that.  "This is what I am challenged to do while in Japan," says Sasha, who is very eager to share his knowledge on "thinking outside the box".

 

Sasha Alexander gives lessons on all aspects of fine arts from classic drawing, sculpting to oil and water painting, etc at the Ebisu Atelier d’Art.
