About the artwork
In “Fire,” we see Bobkin returning to his distinctive signature: the spiritual and the shamanistic. We see indigenous figures from native cultures warming themselves by the flame, as if brought to life from a cave painting. The dark shades contrast with the elusive light of the flame. The fire also serves as a unifying factor: from gathering around a campfire to the romance of staring at a crackling fireplace. As humans, we are the only ones who – believe – to have succeeded in controlling fire. To deal with it and shape it, and to convert the powerful energy it generates into something beautiful.

About the artist
Alexander Bobkin (1952), born in Siberia and based in Nijmegen since 1991, is an artist whose paintings trace a fascinating journey along the boundaries of reality. His works are imbued with a spiritual and mystical atmosphere, transforming the everyday into a source of profound meaning.
Ordinary objects and encounters — the sorrow of a weeping hare, the presence of a glass of water, or fleeting human interactions — are elevated into symbolic stories, rendered in oil on large, striking canvases.
Bobkin’s art is not merely a reflection of the world around us, but a passage into the essence of our cultural heritage. His paintings serve as windows to the human soul, bridging the ordinary and the transcendent, and anchoring mysticism in paint.
His unique vision invites viewers to explore the deeper layers of life, uncover hidden meanings, and embrace the mysteries of existence. Today, his works are part of museum, gallery, and private collections worldwide.
