Alexander Gaitota was born on 18 September 1967 in Kryvyi Rih, Dnipropetrovsk region, Ukraine, where he spent the first ten years of his life. In 1997 his family moved to Komsomolsk (now Gorishni Plavni) in the Poltava Region. The lush and green landscape, combined with the Dnipro River, made a huge impression on the young artist. Here, for the first time, the beauty of nature’s silent creeks was opened up to him. The beautiful reeds sticking fancifully out of the water alongside wood clearings filled with the vibrant beams of the sun. His first hundred or so sketches were in pencil, but soon the young Alexander began to master the art of colour. In 1978 he arrived at the Komsomolsk Children’s Art School in the second class, skipping the first due to his prodigious talent. He participated in regional reviews, competitions, exhibitions and received many thank you letters, awards and trophies. In 1981 he graduated the school with honours. Between 1985 and 1987 he served in the army where he worked as an art designer. After demobilization, he engaged in painting as a freelance artist and continues to do so today. In creating his works, Alexander uses different techniques, picking the one which most precisely allows the spectator to experience the emotional message of the artist. As he says, “I simply compose the work and then in one way or another I will arrange it depending on semantic and emotional feeling.” At the same time, the artist has own style or handwriting through which it is possible to recognize him. In 2001, Alexander moved to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, since when he has regularly taken part in local and international exhibitions. His basic style or direction is one of surrealism, although recently the artist has been working in impressionism, experimenting with a mixture of styles harmonized together on one canvas. His works are in private collections throughout the world in countries including Germany, Italy, France, England, Switzerland, Spain, Holland, Canada, Australia, America, Russia, and of course, Ukrai
