Alex was born in the trans-Carpathian Mountains, now part of the Ukraine. As a mechanical engineer, he managed companies in the design and production of advanced medical equipment in Mexico, the United State, Israel, and the UK. As his business career flourished, so did his artistic career, as he sculpted and exhibited throughout the world prior to retiring as a Global MR Operations Manager with GE to become a full-time sculptor.

Alex is a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, serving 3 years as Vice President, the Oxford Art Society, AMSA, and in 2010, became the first elected member of the National Sculpture Society from South Carolina. He has won numerous awards for his sculpture including a British Design Award (1987), a national award from the American Institute of Commemorative Art (2009) for his “Eagle” installation in Florence Veterans Park, a People’s Choice Award from the National Sculpture Society for “On the way to the market” (2013), a sculpture award for “John Paul II” from Allied Artists of America (2014), and 2nd Honorable mentioning for “Father of the nation” by Portrait Society of America (2015). His bronze, “I’m tall,” was selected by Brookgreen Gardens for inclusion in their outdoor sculpture collection (2017).

His piece, “Einstein,” was selected for inclusion in the prestigious National Sculpture Society’s 79th Annual Awards Exhibition and “On the way to the market” was chosen for the National Sculpture Society’s 80th Annual Awards Exhibition.
