Alexander was fond of painting since childhood, showing exceptional ability and easily winning prizes in contests and competitions in the fine arts, but did not think that this hobby would become his profession and calling.

Looking at his paintings of Old Moscow, all the time trying to understand where decommissioned or that story. You see the familiar architectural objects, churches, houses, streets, and often can not understand where does this particular place ...
Only after careful consideration you realize that the whole of Moscow Starodubova, this is painfully familiar and similar to reality, in essence the imagination of the artist!
