"--Born 1956 near Moscow, Russia--
--Started painting as a small child--
--At age 16, 1976, started at Academy of Design in St. Petersburg, Russia--
--Spent 6 years in art school, receiving a Masters Degree --

- As I had the opportunity to buy his collection of paintings and sketches,
I did so. I sold several of his works, then put the rest in storage, as my elderly parents needed my assistance back east. I have, just now in 2016, after 21 years, put the
collection back on the market--
--The last time I talked with Alex, he was backpacking, camping,
sketching, and painting his way across deserts of Tajikistan--
