Aleksander Stav artistic practice explores nature and how it is constantly changing. Stav also reflects on how nature has become one of the most successful products of our time. Technology and nature are traditionally seen as opposites, but as seen in Stav's research and conceptualization, they have a tendency to connect.

Stav creates clean-yet-weighty sculptures, videos, and installation, relying on casting and 3D printed methods to recreate symbols of nature and environments.

Aleksander Stav has been exhibiting his artwork regularly since 2005 in Scandinavia, England, USA and Brazil. He was presented at the prestigious Armory Show in New York, and has exhibited at the Bergen Kunstmuseum, the Hordaland Art Centre, Gallery USF Verftet, and at many other notable institutions.
