The El Paso International Museum of Art inducted Aleksander (Sasha) Titovets into the El Paso Artists’ Hall of Fame in October 2010. His work hangs in collections around the world and he was chosen to paint the official portrait of Laura Bush that was unveiled in December 2008 and now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Sasha and his artist wife, Lyuba, and her parents, relocated to the United States in 1992 from Russia and settled in El Paso. Much of his work reflects wintry scenes from his native Siberia, but has begun to include snowy landscapes found in Southern New Mexico. He believes that people tend to relate more to the universal experience of winter as opposed to a specific location.

The museum began honoring artists “for their accomplishments and contributions to the visual arts scene in the El Paso Region” in 1994. Artwork of the honorees resides in the museum collection and there is a bronze plaque listing each member of the Hall of Fame in the Museum’s parlour. Sasha joins a group that includes William Kolliker, John Houser, Jose Sisneros, Ann James Massey, Manuel Acosta, Hal Marcus, Alberto Escamilla and many other deserving area artists. ///
