Artist Statement

A Dialogue Between Light and Shadow.

I work with photography, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel to explore what exists at the edges of perception. My images come from fog, filtered light, and places that don’t give themselves up easily. I’m drawn to scenes where figures dissolve into atmosphere, where the boundary between presence and absence becomes uncertain.

Through slow shutter speeds and deliberate ambiguity, I create work that resists immediate understanding. The images focus on moments where recognition begins to break down, where detail softens and meaning becomes unstable. What remains is not a clear narrative, but an impression that lingers.

My work centers on quiet moments and subtle details often overlooked. Themes of isolation and introspection recur, mapping solitary figures and empty landscapes. I move between analog and digital processes, producing limited edition prints and one-of-a-kind pieces that extend the same visual language across mediums.

I began focusing fully on this work in 2024 after over a decade in design and branding.

The Pontevedra Gallery

In January 2026, I opened Alex Corvin Fine Art in the historic center of Pontevedra, Galicia. The space is both gallery and working studio where visitors are welcome to view current exhibitions as well as works in progress. Alongside original paintings, I exhibit black and white photography series that speak the same language in a different medium.
