"Japanese girl in a blue shirt" Painting

Sasha Holly was born into a creative family, where art was a natural part of everyday life. His mother, an art teacher, nurtured his early passion for painting and drawing, surrounding him with brushes, canvases, and colors from childhood. He graduated from an art school and later studied at the Pedagogical Academy named after Mendeleev in Tobolsk, at the Faculty of Arts and Graphics, majoring in Design. During his studies, Alexander developed strong academic skills in drawing, composition, and color theory, while also gaining practical experience in applied design thinking. Professionally, he worked as a designer in a printing house and a magazine, where he was responsible for layout design, illustration, and creating visual materials for print. At the same time, he continued to expand his creative practice, exploring digital tools, graphic software, and video production. Although design played a significant role in his career, traditional painting has always remained central to his artistic identity. Today, Alexander actively creates new artworks. For him, art is more than just a practice — it is a universal language and a way to maintain harmony with himself and the world.
