Bio

Alexander Hayden's work grows from a pursuit of personal peace and a desire to transmit his understanding of the world, in the hopes of benefiting others. Born in Texas in 1993, Hayden moved to New York in 2017 to pursue involvement in the thriving environment of figurative art.

Hayden is self taught, preferring to approach education independently through books & the internet. His works in charcoal, oil paint, pastel, photography, and digital mediums use the figure to analyze the difficulties of managing human experience, the ambiguous and often contradictory thoughts & emotions that come with it, and strategies for attaining peace in a world that is often turbulent. Textual elements are common features in his work, providing an additional mode of communication to his ethereal, dreamlike portraiture.
