Alex Swan is an artist and educator based in Cartersville, Georgia, whose creative journey began with a fascination for the unseen and the emotional power of color. From early explorations in traditional media to bold experiments in abstraction, Alex has developed a distinctive voice that merges abstract expressionism with surrealist sensibilities.

Influenced by artists such as Willem de Kooning, Max Ernst, and contemporary visionaries who challenge perception, Alex’s work seeks to uncover the tension between chaos and harmony. Each piece is an invitation to step beyond the surface and engage with the subconscious—a space where dreams, memories, and emotions collide.

As an educator, Alex believes that art is not just a practice but a dialogue. This philosophy shapes both his teaching and studio work: creativity thrives when boundaries dissolve, and imagination becomes a tool for understanding the human experience. Through layered textures, vibrant color fields, and symbolic forms, Alex aims to create work that resonates on a deeply personal level while sparking curiosity and reflection.
