Alexander Sheversky

Artist Biography

Born in Kishinev, Moldova in 1961, Sheversky was primarily educated about art by his family, namely his father. He was well educated by the traditional European system and attended the I. E. Repin Academy of Fine Art. After almost nine years of extensive academic training, he exhibited his art, prints and posters in several Easter European cities.

Now living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his wife Marina, Alexander dedicated his life to his art. Sheversky combines the bold with the demure in his stylized portraits of women. Using dramatic light and dark contrasts, he enhances the plasticity in the flesh of his subject matter in his art, prints and posters.

He exaggerates and extracts different shapes in the female form and this, combined with colorful accents, creates his signature style. He highlights the attractive natural qualities of the female form. The subject's languid facial expressions generate an almost hypnotic effect. Through these formal qualities, his art, prints and posters are both contemplative and beautiful.
