Biography
Alexander Mazy lives and works in Saint Petersburg. His artistic journey began with graffiti and airbrushing, later expanding into painting, digital illustration, and 3D modeling. His background in computer graphics became the foundation for a successful web studio, recognized with international design awards.
In 2024, Alexander focused on contemporary art, beginning to reinterpret and integrate his accumulated experience into his own artistic practice. By 2025, he presented his first series of works at the Art Russia fair and began to attract the attention of institutions, collectors, and private individuals.

Artist Statement
In my work, I explore the interaction between mental constructs and spirituality—two poles of human experience that are rarely perceived as inseparable. Drawing on integral philosophy and Eastern practices, I transform my deepest states into complex abstract imagery.
The foundation of my artistic language is three-dimensional geometric structures—symbols of anxieties, contradictions, and interpretations frozen within the medium. I integrate 3D modeling into my sketching process to achieve ultimate precision and the materiality of forms.
Working with painting and sculpture, I clash contrasting materials. On canvas, these are painterly layers, black fills, and soft airbrush gradients. In sculpture—plastic, metal, matte finishes, and iridescent automotive enamels. These combinations forge a tension between emptiness and form, while simultaneously creating a unified perceptual experience.
I began with graffiti, a language of aggressive self-assertion. Today, I am recontextualizing graffiti subculture, deconstructing the ego and moving beyond its boundaries.
My art is a practice of attention, an exploration of the nature of perception through material forms. My objects reflect not only individual experience but also the collective cultural layer of modernity. In an era of heightened anxiety, dependence on self-identification, and the loss of inner silence, my works become a dialogue with deep-seated states and a transcendence of emotional experiences.
