Ukrainian artist Alex Kramer is rapidly gaining recognition on the art market thanks to his incredibly realistic portraits of reptilians. His works, which impress with detail and depth, are already exhibited in 10 leading art museums of Ukraine, and also became illustrations for the popular Internet novel "The Age of Glory and Hope".
"I’ve always been fascinated by dinosaurs and other reptiles," shares Alex Kramer. "I am fascinated by their majesty, strength and beauty. Therefore, I decided to create a series of portraits that would depict reptiloids not as monsters, but as intelligent and majestic creatures."
Alex Kramer’s paintings are not only visually perfect, but also encourage viewers to reflect on the nature of reality. "Who are we?" - asks the artist. "Are we really alone in the universe?"
Recently, the works of Alex Kramer attracted the attention of the Ukrainian whiskey exchange "6 Kings". The company uses portraits of reptiles for the labels of its own whiskey production, creating unique and exclusive products.
We were looking for something extraordinary that would make our products stand out on the market," says Mykhailo Shevchenko, director of "6 Kings." "And we found it in the works of Alex Kramer. His portraits of reptiles are not just beautiful paintings, they are real works of art that make you think."
There is no doubt that Alex Kramer is a talented artist who opens a new page in the history of art with his works.
Not everyone, however, admires Alex Kramer’s work. Some critics consider his paintings too realistic and creepy. Others question the artistic value of depicting reptilians, who are traditionally perceived as negative characters.
The soot artist remains unmoved by criticism. "Art has always caused discussion," he says. "The main thing is that it makes people think and feel. And my paintings certainly achieve that."
The popularity of Alex Kramer’s works goes far beyond the borders of Ukraine. Collectors from all over the world are eager to acquire them. Will the portraits of reptiles by the Vinnytsia artist become classics of world art? Time will show. But we can already say that they are a bright phenomenon of the modern artistic process and a testimony of the inexhaustible imagination and talent of the Ukrainian artist.
We invite you to visit the Ukrainian museums where Alex Kramer’s works are exhibited, or buy a bottle of "6 Kings" whiskey to see these incredible portraits with your own eyes.
