“Alexis GRITCHENKO, a Wandering Painter”
Ukrainian painter based in Cagnes-sur-Mer from 1927 to 1960

Alexis Gritchenko (1883–1977), a Ukrainian-born painter, settled in Cagnes-sur-Mer in 1927, where he found a true home. Inspired by Mediterranean light and landscapes, he developed a highly personal style, rich in vibrant colors.
