Alexander Mak

--------

Born and raised in Ukraine, former Soviet Union. Many years ago I have come to conclusion that my efforts should be concentrated at fine arts. Thanks to my persistence and the public acknowledgement I became a professional artist, painter and successful graphic designer. Of course my best inspirers are Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Muha. I can not imagine my life without music. I very like classical music especially Gustav Mahler, and jazz – Chick Corea is my favorite. Moreover – my wife is the Doctor of Music. Nevertheless I am working in my studio in a full silence. It gives me best condition for realization an emotions and aesthetic pleasure. In the middle of ninetieth I was forced to leave my country. Now we are living in Atlanta, Georgia. In result I obtained new possibilities in the life and creation. Now I am involved in the implementation of a large and ambitious project to create a gallery of portraits of famous personalities who no doubt enriched modern civilization.

Graduated from the Ukrainian State University, The School of the Art Department.
