I just simply have to write about Aleks Kargopoltsev. Ever since I  stopped at his studio during my LaConner, Skagit Valley, WA trip a  couple of weeks ago, I haven’t stopped talking about the extraordinary  paintings I saw or thinking about these exceptional paintings…

The woman with violin was a sort of deja-vu moment for me. In one of  my earlier blogs I wrote that as an art buyer, we need to look for the  personal connection with the artwork and with this painting, it just  happened to me! It was like finding a soulmate!


But let us talk about the artist who created this magic. Aleks moved  to the US in 1993 from Russia. By the age of 4, Aleks was drawing and by age 13 passed the rigorous tests that allowed him to enter an art  school in his home town of Kostroma, about 200 miles northeast of  Moscow. He paints landscapes and seascapes in plein air, portraits,  cubist, abstract, contemporary – it is almost like, name it and you’ll  find it at Aleks’ studio!

Since settling in Arlington, Washington, Aleks has taught at the  Andersen Center in Edmonds, Mukilteo, Tri-Dee in Mt. Vernon, The Gene  Nastri Community School of the Arts, and Alek’s Studio and Art Gallery  in La Conner.
