From the period of 1981–1987 Alexander studied at the Ukrainian State Academy of Art in Kyiv at the Department of Monumental Painting in Chekaniuk and Storozhenko's studio.

In the last years of his life he lived in Munich, Germany where he worked as a designer of products for television and cinema, as well as a conceptualist for animation.

In addition to the main concept of painting that he had honed throughout his education, Alexander began to turn towards a variety of types, genres and techniques within the art world.

In the early 1990s, he screened his own action poem, Sleeping Beauty in a Glass Coffin, and founded the Institution of Unstable Thoughts based on the Ukrainian artist collective and NGO in 1996.

Towards the latter stages of his life, he moved away from the concept of looking at the interrelationship between paintings, photographs and objects and instead focused on photorealism, in addition to designing items that were used on television show and films sets.
