Alexander Kozik - Watercolor Art
I started my early experiments with watercolor
during my education at St. Petersburg University,
Russia. After an eighteen year break from
painting, I started over. My paintings express
dreams and fantasies using bright colors. I like
to play with warm color palettes, contrast,
forms, and composition. Many of my paintings are
improvisations and are inspired by the diverse
patterns of California nature and life.

My daily job is the visualization of genomic data
using computer graphics. I work at the University
of California at Davis. Here is an example of a
plant genome (Arabidopsis) visualized using my
software.

All of my drawings are on high quality Arches
acid-free paper. Yarka (from Russia bright)
and the WinsorNewton watercolor sets with bright
natural pigments are my favorite materials. I use
pigments like ochre, cobalt blue, cadmium yellow,
orange and red, and oxide of chromium, which do
not lose brightness for decades.
