Born in 1959 in Kishnev, Russia, Alexander Kanchik emerged as a dynamic force in the world of art. Even as a child, his fascination with art was evident, and he was drawn to painting, sculpture, and stage design with a fervor that set him apart.

After serving his country in the military, Alexander's artistic journey truly began when he was accepted into the esteemed SAMOKISH Crimean Academy of Arts in Simferopol, Crimea (now Ukraine). His talent quickly gained recognition, and he was seen as a rising star in the art world. This led to an invitation to the prestigious Academy of Theater, Stage Design, and Cinematography in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia.

Alexander's time at the academy was marked by brilliance. He graduated with honors, and his exceptional skills opened doors to several coveted positions at the illustrious Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. But fate had other plans. At the pinnacle of his early career, Alexander was granted permission to leave Russia. Seizing this rare opportunity, he made a bold decision to decline the Bolshoi Theater's offer and embarked on a new adventure.

He chose Tel Aviv, Israel, as his new home, where he embarked on an exciting and prolific career as an artist and stage designer. In Tel Aviv, Alexander's creativity flourished, blending his rich Russian heritage with the vibrant culture of his new surroundings. His work continues to captivate and inspire, solidifying his legacy as a visionary artist who defied expectations and followed his passion across borders
