About
Creative work is an ever-evolving journey, rooted in the process of living and the discovery of our world. Exploration of such is mostly at the heart of what Alex does. He believes in the importance of playful moments, tapping into the flow that comes from allowing space for curiosity and spontaneity. This open, often experimental approach invites the unexpected and helps Alex move beyond personal boundaries, leading to visual ideas that aren’t just innovative to him but also deeply personal and somewhat reflective of the human experience. It’s in the moments of free play where creativity unfolds and transforms into something tangible.
Recurring themes in Alex's artistic work often stem from personal experiences, interests, and reflections. Alex's twin boys for example frequently inspire or appear in his images as they serve as a constant reminder of Alex's own childhood and the awe of growing up. Life in its many expressions, space and time, technology as well as creativity are themes which resonate deeply in his explorations and often filter into the work, reflecting a curiosity about the possibilities and mysteries the world holds.
Alex followed love to Brasil and he lived in São Paulo for about six years. This time was instrumental in shaping Alex's artistic approach, not just in terms of creative process but in how he perceives art and life itself. This period set the ground for his transition from a background in communication design into a more expansive world of photography and art. Today Alex and his wife Adriana share a studio in the heart of Berlin.
Influences from Surrealism, Magical Realism, and the Bauhaus movement have been key in informing the playful and exploratory nature of Alex's practice, where the blurring of boundaries between mediums and disciplines feels natural. Alex embraces analogue and digital techniques alike, whether working with a point-and-shoot camera or in medium format, black and white or color. He's always open to new materials and methods that best serve the work.
