Friendly draws caricatures at events, and conducts master classes. Is constantly in search of something new and progressive, does not stop there. In addition to art, he enjoys reading books, psychology, philosophy.
Showed interest in drawing before he began to walk. Since then, Alexey though, and tries himself in various projects, but it is sure – the fine art of his calling. How ornate do not seem to be the way of life, the destiny still does not stop constantly to remind the artist of this fact.
After all, what other field can give immense freedom to the creative imagination?
Inspiration: nature, dreams, strong personality, love, space, and all that is imbued with strong feelings and emotions.

In his works looking for the fine line between the material and the spiritual, chaos and order, emotion, and cold rationality.
For him the most important focus is the feelings and emotions, and the paradox of life and liberty.
2002-2009 – learning the basics of painting in Koreizsky art school.
From 2009 to 2013 — active participant and winner in various national competitions in the field of graphic design and fine art.
In 2013 he held two exhibitions in Simferopol and Sevastopol, which presented their line of exclusive t-shirts with hand-painted.

Alexey's work cause great public outcry. This is not surprising, because he always reacts strongly to significant social and political events, refracting them through the prism of his creative mind. And after playing on the language of images and signs, throws them in the fine art:
"I want to get away from the standard perception, to focus on the fact that most tend to ignore. Realism by itself does not attract me. To simply redraw the subject is not enough.
Because when I paint, I feel that trying to grasp the immensity... sometimes how long do you think you had a picture. Then at some point, the mind just turns off and I sink into meditation, stir paint and given their feelings. Something primal begins to move me.
From materials prefer acrylic and canvas, as also soft pencil and paper for certain types of work. And of course, never stop experimenting..."
Alex never rests on its laurels. The plans are ambitious projects. The artist aims to reduce everything to one style, but rather to try to look at things from different angles. In his opinion, this will allow to realize the main purpose of his art – the knowledge of the secrets of existence and passing of sensory experience connoisseurs.
