All his lifetime Alexander Rorokin has seriously learned mutual understanding with painting. He has been constantly working over the work of creative self-perfection what he stared at school, and is still continuing. In his youth due to his dedication to the art he gained the respect of experienced masters. In particular, Pavel Zaitsman, who was one of the famous artists of Kazakhstan and the pupil of Pavel Philonov, devoted much attention to Rorokin.
At the same time, contemplative character and deep internal life protects Rorokin from accidental impacts. The main quality of his works is the reflection of the world in its entire harmonious integrity. He preserves the balance between material and spiritual worlds. The subjects in the artist's pictures are free from rough matter and insularity and almost become transparent bearers of light. Rorokin possesses a developed sense of color. He works easily with the whole palette, freely developing multicolored structures at the level of delicate harmonies.
"When an artist may tell himself: "Today I am harmonious with the world of kindness, today I am full of hopes for the future and for the better existence: today I feel good and I am ready to share it with everybody!" - only after this he has the right to come to his canvas and take his brush" - from the artist's credo.
