Alexander Telalim

Alexander Telalim is a Bulgarian watercolour artist, born in Ukrainian Bessarabia in 1966.
In his art Alexander organically combines the natural fluidity of watercolour with the power of sharp lines to create vivid and emotional works. His paintings harmonise Zen philosophy with European culture, with his art often perceived in a wider context as a bridge between cultures of the East and the West. An artist with an exceptionally wide artistic range, Alexander is also a calligrapher, book illustrator and creator of the unique “Vitrage Aquarelle” technique.
