Alexander Notarangelo is an emerging figurative artist based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His portraits delve into the unique qualities of individuals through a lens of realism, inviting viewers to connect with the subjects on a personal level. By utilizing a smaller scale in his oil paintings, Alexander draws the viewer in, fostering a shared presence that emphasizes the connection between observer and subject.
A self-taught artist, Alexander began his journey in oil painting in 2020 as a creative response to the isolation brought on by the pandemic lockdowns. His dedication to honing his craft at the easel and exploring a diverse range of subjects has fueled his growth and success within the medium.
In 2022, Alexander gained recognition through the Artist Project’s “Untapped Emerging Artists” juried competition, where he was awarded a dedicated feature at the prestigious art fair. He was also chosen to represent Canada with a portrait of Nobel Peace Prize-winning former Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. His work is housed in several private collections across Canada, the United States, Australia, and Liberia, reflecting his expanding influence in the art world.
