Welcome! I'm Alex Athens, an artist deeply inspired by the beauty of the outdoors and the expressive power of oil painting. Capturing the vast differences in light and weather across all seasons brings me much joy and adventure. Being nature and being surrounded by it and painting directly from it brings a peaceful experience and a more true style of painting. I have used photography for landscapes but I find a lot of information is lacking.
In addition to landscapes, I specialize in commissioned portraits, capturing the beauty and essence of people and pets. Using direct observation as a foundation as well as some photography, I strive to convey not just appearances but the soul of my subjects.
I also enjoy experimenting with vibrant neo colors, bringing a playful and modern twist to my work.
