Alexander Borewko's favorite themes are streets of Paris with landscapes and flowers. Borewko was asked once, "Why Paris?" He answered, "Paris is one of the most favorite city in the world. People admire the beauty of Paris, even if they never been there. Perhaps, this is because we have seen this city by the eyes of many artists: Renoir, Monet, Hugo, Proust, Gauguin, Lautrec, and more. The artist's eye possesses wonderful quality to transform the reality, to penetrate beyond the limits of the ordinary and to revel the difference between real and unreal worlds. I paint only what I see with delicate balance between color, light, subject matter, and composition".
