Introduction and Experience
Alexey Golovin was born in St. Petersburg in 1977. "For me, the most important thing in painting is beauty. You can choose a terrible or amazing subject, a tragedy, but you must try to paint the beauty and expressiveness of the work. My inspiration has always come from Greek mythology, which is an inexhaustible source of material for artists. When I choose classical themes, I will create in the traditional way and with traditional techniques, and try to offer a new, modern interpretation."
