Alek Staff Biography

Netherlands, born 1990

Welcome,
I have been painting since 2011. I am not a professional. Years ago I had an idea to finish art school but never decided to make it happen. I was painting for myself at the beginning - this was my way of stressing out.

A few years later something changed and I compessed "El Camino" - an artbook with my 10 paintings. This was a road I decided to go. In 2018 after Open Call I was invited by ITSLIQUID.COM to Venice. I am a part of itsliquid group of artists also.

I had two exhibitions of 6 paintings. It was a monthly event connected with the Architectural and Art Biennale. Later I had a few showcases in Poland but nothing important.

I want to say a few words about my journey. I think we are flowing with time as vibrations and pure energy. We are present when the time is in a complete state. Our existence is only the creation of our minds and is motivated by our desires and planned things to achieve. Over 13 years ago I started painting. I did not wonder to become an artist. I worked for investment holding at the time. When the right moment came I told my fiancee that I am done, I was not fulfilling my work and all the life I was involved in. I told her that in one year I would become an artist. And that it is. The only things you need is to belive and dream on.

Today I am a law student, a local art promotor, and a painter with a mission to create my art studio. I hope to paint more, the next step of my career road is to paint big formats only. We will see.
