Alex Mambach I consider myself to be a traditional painter in the sense that things like color, paint, movement weight, brushstrokes, and concept are the tools, and not the subjects of my paintings. I paint different subjects: still life, portraits, figure compositions, nudes, sometimes realistically, and sometimes more abstractly, and the final result; the painting, is what matters.
