Alex Nemirovsky's paintings are eloquent articulations of his percepts of the beauty and aesthetic value of his mystifying subjects. He works imaginatively to combine Central Asian decorative colors with classical European and Russian traditions. Even as he portrays tumultuous oceanic scenes filled with disparate religious motifs, his works reveal a profound inner serenity. The paintings are like magical realism in visual form, exploring universal themes of the life cycle and the hidden mysteries of the universe. His works vary dramatically in scale, from medium-sized paintings to expansive public spaces. His largest work to date is the mural, "The Lady of St. Kilda," commissioned by the St. Kilda City Council, which spans the railway bridge in Carlisle, Australia. In every piece, he draws on themes from ancient polytheistic practices and tribal rituals creating unique universes that fold in onto themselves.
