After discovering oil painting, Alex honed his skills with a combination of self-study and taking courses with established artists who share a similar vision. He is passionate about developing his unique visual style and body of work with an emphasis on portraits and expressive figurative works.

Heavily influenced by the work of Lucien Freud and Andrew Salgado, Alex’s practice aims to make painting a sensory experience which captures the subject's character, atmosphere and form.

Alex’s enthusiastic teaching style provides students with the confidence to develop their visual language, explore new techniques and unlock new connections within their work.
