Alex Kuznetsov is an abstract artist based in Lisbon, Portugal. His paintings explore the transformative potential of color and abstraction through a process-driven approach. His artistic journey began with roots in graffiti and a pivotal encounter in 2010 with the power of pure color, which inspired his shift toward Abstract Expressionism. Since then, his work has centered on the interplay of material, gesture, and meaning, creating dynamic compositions that resonate with energy and depth. Kuznetsov works primarily with acrylics, using innovative techniques such as applying paint with aluminum rulers to create bold, sweeping gestures. Each stroke is imbued with intention, emphasizing the tension between control and spontaneity. His process incorporates fluidity, erasure, and precision, allowing the act of painting to become as significant as the final work. The result is a visual language characterized by vibrant layers of color and dynamic movement. His abstractions often suggest urban imagery—futuristic forms, skyline contours, or spatial outlines—but transcend representation, focusing instead on the material and its interaction with light and space. Drawing inspiration from artists like Gerhard Richter, Barnett Newman, and Pierre Soulages, Kuznetsov has developed a distinctive style that celebrates the medium as a subject in its own right. For Kuznetsov, painting is a search for harmony and balance, a way to organize the world through a personal visual language. His works invite viewers to engage with their layers and textures, encouraging them to uncover individual interpretations and connections. Through this dialogue, Kuznetsov’s paintings offer a space for reflection, presence, and transformation.
