What is unusual about Mr. Mischan...
I have Known Alexandr Mischan for about six years. What is unusual about Mr. Mischan is a special ability to convey in visual form rather abstract and spiritual ideas. Unusually this is not done through abstract painting but through representational painting. I believe Mr. Mischan has an important career and has much to offer the world of art which in the future will depend on the ability to infuse spiritual values into visual forms.
