"My inspiration is drawn from a broad range of subjects,

with my creative process beginning with an appreciation

of the beauty in direct visual experiences.

By beauty, I refer to anything that evokes emotion,

sparks inspiration, provokes curiosity,

or simply captures my interest and invites further exploration."

   
   From studying sculpture to working in graphic design, Alex Kelly has collected knowledge and tools from a diversity of creative mediums, all influencing the oil painting he now focuses on exclusively. He cites the discovery of Richard Schmid's work and books as a pivotal point in his evolution as an artist. Kelly has written to us quite thoughtfully about the first artistic influences that sparked his creativity and has provided a step-by-step demonstration of his work titled, "Time Has Told Me". Kelly completed his formal studies in Fine Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University and in Graphic Design at New College Nottingham. Since then, he has taught yearly workshops in Gascogne, France, been featured at Realism Live and in multiple national and international publications, and has won major awards for his work, painted primarily from life, "alla prima".
