P participated in numerous exhibitions in Russia and abroad (England, Czechia, France etc.).
The author of many projects/ The most interesting ones are: "Argazi. Znakishumavetratrav", "White, black, red, golden", "It's very far...".

Regarding the object-matter and the content of the "Argazi. Znakishumavetratrav (SignsofNoiseofWindofGrass)" project, it is inspired by what the artist found on the Lime-tree island of the lake Argazi. His July experiences on the island, as he lives those days through in his mind's eye, are incorporated into the drawings on rice paper, the author's books, works of sculpture, video-painting (spontaneous drawing in Indian and colored ink on rice paper to the accompaniment of Sainho Namchulak's song in a guttural voice).

Combining traditional techniques with the use of natural materials (sand and cockle-shells) as well as new technologies (video), Alexander Danilov proves an extraordinarily complete and significant master of the poetical language in rendering commonplace summer phenomena.
