«Anyone whose goal is “something higher” must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.» - Milan Kundera. When I had read this quote, I could not get it out of my head. These words exactly describe the modern high-tech, high-competitive, rapidly changing society. After all, our life often passes by the Olympic motto “Faster! Higher! Stronger!". In my opinion, vertigo is not the fear of falling, it is the fear of not having time, the fear of losing, the fear of showing your weaknesses. That's what I was thinking about when I was painting this work.

Alex SanVik's paintings delve into profound themes of truth, love, simplicity, and harmony. At the heart of his work lies an unwavering commitment to emotional resonance, with each piece crafted to evoke a powerful response from its viewers. Using acrylics on canvas or paper, SanVik breathes life into his original artworks, infusing them with rich colors, dynamic forms, and captivating textures. He paints not just with his hands, but with his heart, drawing inspiration from the world around him—each stroke a reflection of his perception and emotional landscape. Through thoughtfully chosen titles, SanVik invites his audience to embark on a journey of introspection as they engage with his work. Yet, he embraces the notion that art is inherently subjective, believing that every viewer brings their own unique narrative to life through the emotions stirred within them. After all, the essence of abstract art lies in its power to evoke feelings, flourishing in the intimate connection between the artwork and its beholder. Born in 1989 in the USSR, Alex SanVik is a self-taught artist whose passion for painting has been a constant companion throughout his life. His captivating artworks grace private collections across the globe, including the USA, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Singapore, Thailand, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Russia, resonating with audiences far and wide.
