Chirkov Alexey Nikolaevich was born in 1974 in the village of Fedoskino, Moscow region, where he resides now. In 1994 Alexey graduated from the Fedoskino Art School.
The artist works in the style of Fedoskino lacquer miniature and uses oil paints. Chirkov's favorite themes to depict are architecture and genre scenes.
He has created the following original works:
1995 - "Princess Frog",
1996 - "The St. Avraam's monastery" (Rostov the Great),
1998 - "Moscow".
Starting a new composition, the artist intends to attain the best result and create a piece that will make him glad. He finishes work on a miniature when there is nothing to add and the miniature is brought to perfection. Alexey considers harmony is the most important element in his compositions, and he thinks that color palette depends on a chosen theme.
The artist looks for his personal methods of painting and uses different techniques. It is possible to distinguish his pieces from other painters' works by technique, color treatment and qualitative execution. Alexey hopes admires of his creative work will remember his detailed painting, themes of compositions, their colors, and execution.
In his free time the artist saves his strength for work. He prefers an active pastime. Alexey wishes collectors of his works to understand and study Russian Folk Art.
