The choice of his life path was significantly influenced by his father, Arkady Petrovich Litvinov, a talented artist and excellent educator. His older brother, Oleg Arkadyevich Litvinov, a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine, also chose the artistic path.

From a young age, his fascination with historical and biblical literature significantly impacted the artist's creative style. He works in the style of figurative art, where the main focus is on the depiction of the human body. Alexander Litvinov's paintings bring historical and biblical narratives to life, often featuring numerous characters, compositionally arranged according to genre conventions. He has created around a thousand works in total.

In his paintings, the artist aimed to convey global events and bright ideas, meticulously searching for deep layers of historical past. The motto of his creativity was inspired by the philosopher Kant: "Enclosed life - free art." Despite a serious illness, he generously gifted his art to people, creating large-scale artistic canvases that illuminated with the starlight of his soul.
