About me 

My name is Alex Moon, i'm a 23 years old painter and i live in Turin. I've always liked to draw but i had never tried to paint, until i asked my grandmother, also a painter, to teach me. From that moment on i started to paint mainly landscapes. Then suddenly the covid arrived and for a long time we all had to stay in their own homes. In that period, without any external contacts, i could only focus on myself and to develop paintings that i didn't think i would do. My art isn't born out of depression, not out of any kind of trauma or even any other illness. It arises from feelings and fears that i carry within me because i feel things sensitively and sometimes i'm not understood. The future is uncertain and scares me but it gives me the motivation i need to keep creating because art has helped me bring out that part of me hidden in the dark. My paintings were all done in oil paint both those before and after the covid. Only recently have i begun to approach digital art thus being able to make more works and be satisfied with them.

One more thing... almost all my works are not signed with my nickname but with the initials of the real one.
