About the Artists
Alex Lavrov is a visual artist working primarily with oils on canvas, using improvisation as his central creative method. Born in Ukraine, he moved to Israel in 1997 at age sixteen, facing cultural dislocation and separation from family, which intensified his engagement with art as a means of processing emotional challenges. Over time, his practice evolved into a tool for self-exploration and understanding the workings of the mind. In 2007, he permanently relocated to Canada and now lives and works in the Vancouver area, British Columbia, continuing to create art that unfolds intuitively during the creative process.
Tamara Grand creates layered abstract paintings using acrylic, wax pastel, and graphite. Her work develops through a process of addition and revision, with bold colour, organic form, and gestural marks accumulating and remaining partially visible. Rather than concealing earlier stages, she allows traces of the past to emerge, recording change over time. Her intuitive approach embraces movement, erasure, and reworking on canvas and birch panel. With a background in science, she views each painting as an experiment, inspired by nature’s shifting light, textures, growth, and decay. Her practice began after the loss of her daughter, holding grief and joy together through evolving, unfinished transformation.
The shore is never still. Even on a foggy morning, when everything feels hushed and soft, life gathers and stirs just beneath the surface.
Teeming was inspired by the wild beaches of the west coast — places where the shoreline disappears into mist and every tide pool is its own hidden world. Beneath the quiet, everything is moving, shifting, breathing.
Some paintings arrive like a slow unfolding. Inflorescence is one of those — a layered exploration of growth, complexity, and the beauty that emerges when we give things time to bloom.
Inspired by the lush abundance of wildflowers and the quiet architecture of how things grow, this piece carries energy, movement, and the soft promise of becoming.
For the collector who loves work that feels alive — an echo of the seasons, a reminder that beauty rarely happens all at once, but reveals itself layer by layer.
Filtered light, layered memory.
Inspired by standing beneath towering old-growth trees, looking up as light weaves through the canopy. This painting captures the quiet awe of those moments — when time slows, the air hums, and the forest feels like a living tapestry.
