Alexander Kurgansky  was born in 1972 in the village of Semenitchevo located in the Moscow region.

In 1994  Alex Kurgansky graduated from the Fedoskino Art School where his mentors were A.R. Kotov and N.G. Marchukov.

At present time, the artist works at the Fedoskino Factory of Lacquered Miniature.  Alexander Kurgansky was awarded the title, "Artist of the fourth rank".

The master prefers to work with green and soft pastel tones. He considers that precise elaboration of all elements of a composition is the most important trait in his work. Starting a new piece, Alexander strives to use new techniques of painting. It takes him ten days to create a composition. The creative works of Fedoskino astists such as S.I. Kozlov and N.A. Zotov, influenced his style of painting.

Alexander's works are notable for precise drawing, clear composition and beautiful color treatments.
