My name is Alex and I am 24 years old. I am an artist. This is my website.
About My Works
I like to paint paintings, draw drawings, create cartoons, shortfilms and video artworks, sculptures and installations, sew clothes and costumes, knit, crochet, program websites, write stories and poems, take pictures, manipulate images, design and build things.
In my art work the topic is often feelings and experiences, mine and others, thoughts, gender, sexuality, socialization, culture, violence, oppression, relationships, friendship, communication and beauty. What it's like to be me.
I think one of the most important role of art is to connect people together and strengthen us, to show solidarity against oppression and violence. Show something true, something that lets someone know they are not alone or draw attention to something. I also think a lot about colors, shapes, composition. Lightness and weight and how different textures work together to create something cool and exciting. Humor and joy also often appear in my works.
