Alexander
Belov ’s unique approach to realism fascinates.Someone
described his manner of work:“He creates
fantasy out of reality ”.Oil paintings
are his main way of expression.Portraits
and landscapes take shape on his canvas.But
his motifs take sudden leaps into pure
fantasy.Sometimes obvious and more often
in a sub-conscious manner. Dalai Lama
once commented the painting Traveler (lower

search of gold,but to fi nd wisdom.” |
