Alex Kuznetsov (b. 1978) is a Lisbon-based artist whose process-oriented abstract paintings unfold through repetition, duration, and material structure. Working with linear tools like aluminum straightedges, Kuznetsov builds his compositions through layered gestures that resist immediacy and spectacle.
These are not expressive images, but constructed surfaces — slow to reveal, physically present, and shaped by constraint. His work challenges the visual habits of an accelerated culture, offering instead a space for extended looking and perceptual recalibration.
Kuznetsov’s practice remains deliberately open in form but anchored in rhythm, attention, and presence. In a time of constant image refresh, his work insists on slowness — not as retreat, but as proposition.
