Flying Over Corniglia (Cinque Terre) by Alex Bertaina

Working with oil paint on canvas, Alex Bertaina’s characteristic style seems to capture a landscape viewed throughout time.  Criss-crossing shards of colour, light and shadow hint at the dynamic nature of each scene, throughout the changing seasons.  Despite his unusual position as a self taught artist, Bertaina has received global, critical acclaim and homage.

With a lifelong passion for creative expression, Alex reflects that “The child who tried to create a clean and tidy world from the jumble of scribbles made by his classmates has ended up increasing his passion as a painter.  Today, thanks to a constant and continuous commitment, I am known at world level for my Mediterranean landscapes, my Venetian paintings and for my snowy mountain views.  Maybe my dream within the deep of my soul is coming true”.
