In his career as a painter, Alex has developed his own style which he calls "Neoteric Geometrism" (tm)." In my work, I exploit Geometric shapes that surround every object in Nature and Geometrical shapes within objects. Mentally drawing lines from one spot to another breaking up the areas into complex, sharp-edged triangular shapes. The shapes are there in space if you look for them. "

"On figures, I follow the human structure underneath the surface and abstract it. In my paintings, I experiment strongly with color and work towards breaking previous concepts of color theories and interaction of color. My work may create a new school of thought on color interaction and color relationships.My objective as a painter is to create some of the world's most aesthetically pleasing and daring paintings."
