Hello!
I'm Alexander, and I'm passionate about art. Teaching is amazing and witnessing the moment when someone realizes "This is working" brings me immense joy. It's a feeling I cherish in my own work. Seeing it in others is rewarding. |
My Artistic Background
My journey into the world of art began at the age of 14, starting with charcoal and oil paint. Over the past 15 years, I've honed my skills in a variety of mediums, including:
Drawing: Graphite and charcoal
Painting: Acrylic, oil, and pastel
Photography: Film and digital, including editing
Digital Art: Proficient in ProCreate
Art Business: Preparing and selling art, navigating gallery and museum relationships
I've had the privilege of showcasing my work in galleries across New York City and Chicago. Currently, I split my time between these vibrant art hubs and Paris, immersing myself in their artistic communities.
