Since childhood he has been interested in astronomy, anatomy of animals and humans, entomology, genetics and ecology.
Alexandr did his studies at the Free International University of Moldova (www.ulim.md) and the University of Copenhagen (www.ku.dk) in the field of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics. He also participated in a number of educational programs on the topics of environmental protection, leadership and entrepreneurship at universities in Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Australia and the USA.
Alexandr had worked for four years as a researcher at the Institute of Economy, Finance and Statistics (www.iefs.md) in Moldova. As a volunteer he had actively participated in the development and activities of the non-governmental organizations AIESEC (www.aiesec.md) and JCI (www.jci.md) in Moldova. He also contributed to the organization of the national environmental campaign Hai, Moldova! (www.hai.md) and to the creation of a unique virtual instrument for visualizing global statistics on waste pollution called the Waste Explorer (www.wasteexplorer.org). Since 2012 Alexandr has engaged in social entrepreneurship and has helped his colleagues to create a global web platform for documenting, implementing and evaluating eco-innovations called Dreamups (www.dreamups.org). In 2013 together with a team of 5 young people he also founded and started to develop their own environmental organization - the Moldovan Environmental Governance Academy (MEGA).
Alexandr began his literary activity in 2003. Back then his first tentative poems, poetic translations and the first large and interactive novel "The Scorpion" appeared. The subject of the poems and the novel were focused on the beauty and wisdom of Nature, the importance of and need for its conservation, the philosophical reflections on the place and role of Humans in the world and the women's beauty. Those early works were followed by a hundred other poems and an autobiographical novel "Head on into Another World" about a trip to the village Cunicea in Moldova.
Alexandr's first book was published in 2007. It was a small collection of works entitled "The Thoughts: the World of My Heart and Soul. The Favorites", which included several dozens of poems, five poetic translations and two short stories, "The Black Hole" and "Road to Happiness". Also several poetry works were published in the anthology "The Golden Verse" in 2009. The rest of the poems were posted by the author on his literary blog "The Thoughts" (www.ischenco-thoughts.blogspot.com).
Alexandr began working on the novel "The Monster: Blade of Darkness" (www.themonster.info) in 2000. In 2010 the first draft of the literary work was completed. In 2013 the revision and editing of the text of the novel were finished. And only in 2014 the novel was published. This was possible due to the great support of the author's parents, Vera and Victor Iscenco, whom Alexandr is immensely grateful to.view less
