Alex Jawdokimov
If one were to read a life report on Alex Jawdokimov it would say: 'Reached his full creative potential'.
This sprightly 77-year-old has achieved not one, but three, careers, and at an impressive level. He has acted alongside Larry Hagman and Sean Connery, he has danced professionally and you would instantly recognise one of his eclectic designs or paintings because they have been sold all over the world as prints and posters.
His attention to detail is second to none. His professional draughtsmanship is clearly evident and there is great depth to his paintings, drawing the onlooker into an enchanting world, almost inviting them to walk through the magical trees that shine as light pours on to them.
