About

Alexander Jose (Alexander Litkevych) was born in 1951 in Vilnius. Since his first days his parents instilled careful attitude to nature in him. At the same time incredibly beautiful Lithuanian landscapes with their ancient coniferous forests and the Baltic Sea coasts planted a seed of love for the beautiful in him.

After moving to Ukraine in 1960s Jose got a wonderful chance to observe endless steppes, quiet nights, blooming gardens in spring and beautiful winter evenings. Since then Ukrainian landscapes inspire Jose to create more and more amazing paintings and remain one of the main themes of his works.

In 1985 Jose's life was drastically changed by a car accident, and so was his outlook. Jose decided to change his life completely. Art studios, paints, canvases, fusain, pencils, sanguine — all this became an integral part of the painter's life. Inspiration was his best friend, he wanted to paint and nothing more. Fiery eyes, endless hours of work. Jose meets famous painters, discusses art with them day and night, he buys all books about artists. He shows his works to other painters and enjoys admiring comments. Once he gave one of his works to an art salon, after a little while it was bought for a very high price. Soon afterwards Jose was invited to exhibit one more painting and that was the beginning. Exhibitions, meetings, salons were not long in coming. He organizes his personal exhibitions, he also takes part in those with other painters.

Worth noting that his works are appreciated not only among ordinary art fans but among art experts also. His oil paintings on canvas are prominent for their coloration and inner energy. The use of a palette-knife grants airiness and freedom to them. You will never confuse Jose's works with any other, he has recognizable style and perfect mastery.
