Alexander Rokoff is at the forefront of contemporary figurative oil painting. Working with life-size panels in the tradition of the Old-World masters, such as Velásquez, Caravaggio, and Ilya Repin, Rokoff executes paintings that capture the spirit of his subjects and document a powerful social narrative that is both contemporary and timeless.

Originally from New Mexico, Rokoff received early acclaim for his mural work in and around Santa Fe, Taos, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, and Bahía de Caracas, Ecuador. The mastery of his craft, however, arose from a series of master-apprenticeship programs lasting nearly twenty years and consisting of intense training in metalsmithing, woodworking, drawing, painting, the graphic arts, and sculpture. The skills he acquired through these studies are evidenced in his command of color, perspective, texture, tone and form. When combined with a lifetime of travel and an acute sensibility for the human condition, the results are passionate, compelling, and fully-realized works of art.

Ursprünglich aus Neu Mexiko stammend, bekam Rokoff früh Anerkennung für seine Wandmalere in und in der Umgebund von Santa Fe, Taos, San Miguel de Allende, San Christobal de las Casas, Mexiko, Bahia de Caracas und Equador. Die Meisterschaft in seiner Kunst erlangte er jedoch im Laufe von 20 Jahren in der Ausbildung in Schmiedekunst, Holzarbeit, Zeichnen, Malerei, Graphik und Bildhauerei. Die in diesen Studien erlangte Technik sind in seinem Umgang mit Farbe, Perspektive, Textur, Stimmung und Form deutlich. In der Kombination mit lebenslangem Reisen und einer klaren Sensibilität für menschliche Bedingungen sind das Resultat leidenschaftliche, eindrucksvolle und vollendete Kunstwerke.
