Artist’s Statement: My intention is to create works of art that reflect the complexity and beauty of nature, sometimes increasing the original size.

Artist Bio: Internationally collected and formally trained in Europe, Alexandre Safonov paints and sculpts from a spiritual perspective all his own. In his studio in Encinitas, California he carefully observes each angle and curve with regard to shadow and light as he works around every piece. Inspired by forms found in nature, he explores the interactions of curves, straight lines, and volumes. In turn, the work provokes viewers to walk around it as well, whether in a gallery, a home, or a public park.

Bringing 35 years experience as an artist and working with clients, he is capable of creating pieces for any taste, suitable for home, garden, corporate, and public settings. His work enlivens public and private collections throughout the world. His one-of-a-kind wooden sculptures are harmonious forms derived from the human body, clothing, and continuous lines evoking both mood and movement.
