Schoggi Painting is a large polyptych containing 12,345 pieces or tiles. Each tile is a miniature painting of c. 5 x 5 cm. - an artwork in its own right, numbered and signed at the back by the artist. The whole painting is 4 meters wide by 7.7 meters long, and it took Alexander Borissov over 9 months to complete. Schoggi in Swiss German means chocolate. Like a chocolate bar that can be divided between people, the Schoggi Painting is made to be shared. A tile or a selection of tiles can be bought by individuals, making the magical Schoggi Painting and its beauty available to many. Schoggi Painting is a statement art dedicated to promote sustainability and connection between people living in different countries. It calls for a better life with social and environmental awareness. Because of its grand size (4 m. x 7.7 m.) parts of the Schoggi were exhibited at the same time at various location. The Schoggi Painting was first presented to the public at Ina Dederer and Friends Art Gallery in Zurich, where parts of it - Bar 3 to Bar 8 - were exhibited from March to June 2015. From April to November 2015 another part of the Schoggi - Bar 2 - was exhibited at the office of BPS Suisse bank in Zurich. Bar 8 was also on display at the opening of the art exhibition organised by KUKK Verein in Zurich, and at the International Art Exhibition in Zug in August 2015.

Alexander Borissov was born in Moscow in 1963. At the age of 5 he takes drawing classes from his architect grandfather Alexander Anfimov, studying inanimate objects and human skeleton. Alexander Anfimov was a prominent Russian architect designing administrative buildings, theaters and residential houses. One of his buildings is now a listed building of a regional importance. Alexander Anfimov graduated from Kharkiv State Art College and has created an array of stunning landscape paintings in oil and water colours. At the age of 16 Alexander Borissov follows the steps of his artist great grandfather Semion Anfimov with painting Icons of saints on wooden panels. Semion Anfimov, the father of Alexander Anfimov, painted icons and frescos, and worked on restauration of churches. Semyon Anfimov knew how to make artificial marble, that one can’t tell from the natural one, and after the WWII he was invited to the restoration of the Palace of Vorontsov in Odessa. Alexander Borissov inherited his artistic skills from his artist grandparents and has embarked on an artistic career to perfect them. After moving to London in the 1990s Alexander produces an array of impressionist images. In 2004 he becomes a member of the Fine Art Trade Guild. His artworks are exhibited in London galleries at Kensington Church Street, Canary Wharf, at Chelsea Art Fair and at Kensington Olympia. On the quest of artistic liberty in 2006 Alexander switches from figurative art to abstract-expressionist technique. In 2008 Alexander moves to Switzerland.
