Alexander Portnyagin

Hello, my name is Alex and I invite you to browse my humble collection. I am in love with watercolor and inspired by many brilliant artists with what they can create within just a few movements by their hands.

I was born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and spent there my first and school years. That time I saw multiple selling artists with their works right on streets and always dreamed to draw like them. I started drawing comparatively recently, while living in Moscow, Russia, where I studied and lived for next 20 years and before moving to the US. Here, in America, I began experimenting with watercolors. I am self-taught artist and educate myself on daily basis from different sources and practicing.

Although I live in such dynamic city as New York, I try to express the silence which often presents in my inner world and put it on a paper. I hope someone else can feel it too looking at my drawings.

Thank you very much for reaching this line! ?
