Feofilaktov participated in regional, republican, all-union, all-Russian, and foreign exhibitions since 1977.
He became a member of the Union of Artists of Russia in 1991, an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation in 2010. The painter was awarded the Prize of the Governor of the Murmansk Region in 2008 for a series of portraits of the inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula.
From 2006 to 2019, he headed the Union of Artists of the Murmansk Region.
Since 2016 he taught at the Murmansk College of Arts.
His works are housed in the Murmansk Regional Art Museum, the Museum of Sweden, in private collections in Russia and abroad.
Alexander Feofilaktov was characterized by a solid approach to choosing a topic. He was concerned about the historical past and the present, the relationship between man and nature. Landscapes gave the artist an opportunity to go beyond the closed world he created, where each of his canvases only revealed a particle of his soul to those who were ready for a dialogue, and left room for imagination for the future.
The painting “Master of the Tundra” depicts wild nature and endless snowy expanses, a man in national winter clothes who lives and works in the harsh conditions of the endless northern landscape. The artist traveled a lot around the Northern territories, compiling the image of people living in different parts of the region.
