Alexander Anufriev

Biography:
Alexander Anufriev. Born in Moscow in 1940, Alexander Anufriev endured many years as an underground "unofficial" artist in the Soviet Union due to the spiritual nature of his paintings and his view of life. Since coming to the United States in 1980, his motivation as an artist has not changed. "When I paint, I stand between the heavens and the earth, trying to make the invisible visible. I try to bring about a unification in my painting. Some might call it mysticism – the idea that we are all linked by our divine beginning. I think this unification is often expressed by beauty – so I am always looking for beauty." Alexander is strongly influenced by art of the Renaissance – particularly Pierro della Francesca, Fra Angelico and Byzantine icons.
