Landscapes for Alexander have always been a favorite genre, but among his works there are portraits of people close to the author. The artist does not leave without attention and still lifes. In the landscapes painted by the artist, the audience often has a time when nature only wakes up from winter, or in late autumn expects its approach.

The works of Alexander Prokhorovich are in the collection of the Ivanovo Art Museum and in private collections.
