Aleksei Tivetsky is a Russian-born painter who worked for twenty-three years in restoration and conservation of art works in many different countries. Being a conservationist, it is essential to keep the individual style of the original artist, and therefore leaves little room for creative individuality. This is why Tivetsky pursued his own art as an outlet for self-expression. Tivetsky’s artwork is a combination of technique and imagery that is reminiscent of master painters.
