Welcome to the spellbinding world of award-winning artist, Alex Hook, where endless azure skies spread out over crystalline seas and graceful figures relax in quiet contemplation. These large-scale paintings display an artist of incredible talent; with a flawless rendering technique Hook’s brush flutters over the canvas, delineating his subject in a weightless manner. His painting conveys a certain exuberance, beautiful models and striking natural vistas—this is truly the good life and Hook is taking us along for the ride. Muted tones may dominate his portraits while fresh breezy blues couple with earthy hues in his landscapes. Hook's artistic eye is pulled in the direction of beauty, whether human or of the natural world. "The subjects which attract me in my work," he explains, "are feminine figure and the colors of exotic countries [such as] India, Egypt, and the Mediterranean. Educated in art academies in Russia and England Alex Hook’s paintings have been exhibited frequently in Spain, England, and the United States. He lives and works in Mallorca, Spain.
