Alexander Ivashkevich makes portraits using the methods of classical photography and painting, paying attention to how things are arranged, light, and technical accuracy. The human figure is central to his work, serving as a carrier of cultural continuity and shared values (serving as a carrier of cultural heritage). Through his work, Ivashkevich reactivates and sustains the tradition of classical image-making in a contemporary cultural context.

 

He creates images using a mannerist (neo-classical) approach to form, setting the tone through posture, gesture, and compositional balance. The portrait becomes a point of contact with classical visual language, enabling viewers to interpret the subject and develop an understanding of its character and presence.

 

Ivashkevich treats the portrait as an object, incorporating materials such as glass, gold, and the eglomisé technique. Particular attention is paid to framing and physical presence.
