About Alex

Alex makes meditative geometric paintings with a limited color palette that plays with shape and light to create complex worlds of abstraction. Completed over countless hours, and over many months, these are layered improvisational canvases painted in acrylic and using masking tape.

Queral also creates unique 3-D portraits of people by carving and painting phonebooks.
