“ I explore different techniques, including, almost always, the qualities of found and manipulated two or three dimensional objects or textural components.  All these materials turned into colors, shapes, lines and textures, sometimes hidden but still existing somewhere between the layers of paint - oil, acrylic or whatever, create an impression that things are often not what they seem, giving rise to doubt in the reality of the visible. Starting out as a surrealist and still trying to follow the ideas of this great movement I feel that my work is getting more and more abstract - though the last thing I care about is if I get representative or abstract results”       Alex Berdysheff
