Alexey Klokov (one of his pseudonyms is Romanov:[1][2]) was born on August 2, 1965, in the village called Beloomut, situated in the Moscow region.

From 1991 to 1994 he trained in the workshops at the Hermitage (Saint Petersburg) and the Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), and from 1994 to 1998 he was engaged in the restoration of Old Russian Art.

[4][5][6] Since 2005, he has been developing his own method of visualizing desires, namely ILG-ART (Image, Line, Gold), which is a blend of art, psychology of success and chromo therapy techniques.

[11] The works of Alexey Klokov, according to the art critic Alexander Evangely, are associated with the illustration of Jungian ideas; a "balance between abstraction and figurativeness".

[17] At the Seyhoun Art Gallery exhibition, held in Los Angeles in February 2016, his oils of various genres were presented which included "Harmony of Two", "Spring Solo" and "Autobiography" and other paintings.
