Prostov-Pokrovsky is the only Russian artist to have a diploma and a Cup of the International Alliance of Salvador Dali and a gold medal of the European Circle Franz Kafka.

“… In special terms, I don’t think about my work. Yes, and in the classical sense I have very little surrealism… It seems to me that we are talking about a different degree of perception of reality: in my heart there is continuous surrealism. And what is it? This, I would say, is a constant shock at realism. That’s why I came up with a direction - “intellectual realism”…

Alexander Prostov-Pokrovsky participated in more than fifty personal and collective exhibitions in Germany, Ireland, Turkey, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Malta, Slovakia, Serbia and Russia.
