Alexei Yakurin

I'm an artist living in the Canary Islands, where the light, nature, and quiet rhythm of life deeply influence my work. I mostly paint portraits in oil on canvas board, trying to capture the inner world of a person through color, expression, and mood. I also create landscapes—often inspired by the places I walk through every day—and sometimes turn to watercolor when I want to express something softer and more fleeting. Painting, for me, is a way to connect—with others, with myself, and with the world around me.
