My name is ALEXEY PUSHKAREV, and I am an artist and printmaker based in Melbourne, a sunlit, sea-kissed city in Australia.

I graduated from the Moscow State University of Printing Arts where I first developed my passion for printmaking, engraving, and visual storytelling.

My current focus is on creating linocut prints and drawings that combine bold designs with subtle details, aiming to evoke emotion and spark curiosity in those who view them.

For me, linocut is more than a technique—it’s a language of contrasts, textures, and stories waiting to be told. The rhythmic process of carving, inking, and pressing is a meditation in itself, an intimate dialogue between artist and medium. I am drawn to its raw, tactile nature, the way a simple block of linoleum transforms into something alive with meaning.

Every print is a reflection of patience and intent. From the first sketch to the final pull from the press, each step is deliberate, each detail infused with a personal touch. The beauty of handmade art lies in its imperfections—the subtle textures and organic marks that make every piece one of a kind.

Relief print is a RITUAL, a way of translating emotion into
something tangible.
