Oscar L Alexander is an internationally published artist of Nordic decent, who plays with realism and abstract.
After spending well over a decade living in London, working in a variety of roles within the fashion industry, ranging from creative directing fashion magazines to modelling and celebrity hair & makeup artistry, it all finally led him to photography.
He decided to focus on analog photography, stepping away from “the perfect” image that society is striving for and being able to catch a moment instead of trying to recreate a passed one.
After relocating his studio to Barcelona, Oscar rediscovered his passion for painting and drawing, which was his dream job as a child. He even had a painting he made, a portrait of his teddybear, at the age of 3, hanging in a governmental building in Stockholm, Sweden, for at least 10 years, and it might still do.
He draws his inspiration from, anatomy, emotions, history, nature and textures, which you can clearly see in his work. Many artworks have their roots in his own life experiences, trying to normalise talking about mental health and also not only normalising, but desexualising the nude body. People often say that his work is very multi layered, that every time you look at his artwork you end up discovering something new.
Oscar is available for photography and/or art commissions, interested in hearing about collaboration ideas you might have and if you would like to use any photograph or artwork for commercial purposes, or are a gallery or exhibition space and would like to showcase his work, please get in touch on info@oscarlalexander.com.
Oscar has had exhibitions in Spain and the UK.
