Inspired by the creative searches of the great experimenters of the XX century - V. Kandinsky, K. Malevich, P. Mondrian, etc. - Alexander Sivkov creates his own recognizable handwriting, allowing him to reflect the diversity of subjective experiences and thoughts from contact with reality.
The results of creative searches of recent years have been embodied in an art project dedicated to the history of the Urals, including the installation "Pisanitsa" and a series of graphic sheets "Breath of the Earth", "Stone Chronicle of the Urals", "Archaeology", etc.
