Art critic's comment
The creative method, which the artist Alexander Saidov has chosen is based on a combination of the most important artistic styles. The author is not interested in just copying the world around him. For this reason, in his pieces Saidov combines realistic features with fantastic elements and symbolism.
The artist works in various genres: he paints still lifes with fruit and decorative interior items, makes artworks with fantastic architectural views and often depicts fabulous animals and characters in his paitnigns. Creating his own artistic world, which he generously, to the smallest detail, shares with the viewer, Alexander Saidov relies on the foundations of Realism and classical painting technologies characteristic of European School of the 17th-18th centuries.
