«In 2015 Alexandra Otieva was awarded with prestigious prize «Rose of Monaco».
“This is extremely symbolic though still transitional result of fifteen years’ creative activity of a French author with Russian soul. The prize with its poetic name totally matches the character of her art. Alexandra is persistent at work, basing on her own impressions, fantasy and extensive possibilities in applying watercolor techniques.
The world in watercolor works by Alexandra Otieva is bright, full of vivid colours and movement. So swift-flowing but magnificent life of flowers incarnated in bright and dynamic canvases. Impressions from travelling laid the foundation for landscapes and somehow gave a new meaning to the traditional genre of the itinerary notebook.
The priorities of Otieva in her art are live form motion, initial feeling, emotional expressiveness of plastic motive. Alexandra’s watercolor works are full of lyric emotional experience and excitement. It’s most possible, that’s exactly the peculiarity which attracts spectators to her personal exhibitions in various countries.”
