Alessandro Iacobone

My name is Alessandro Iacobone, aka Alex Moon. I'm a 23 years old emerging italian painter and I live in Turin. I've always liked drawing, since i was a child, but i didn't pay much attention to it and I had never considered painting.
I'm a self-taught painter; i paint my emotions, anxieties, what the human being transmit to me and what is mysterious in existence.

I never attended the academy; my grandma, also a painter, taught me the basics of painting and my first artworks depicted landscapes. A few months later, during the covid pandemic, I was forced, like everyone else, to stay at home. There i was able to focus on myself and I began to create my own style, influenced by what i felt at that moment and by some artistic currents of the past, such as surrealism and the metaphysical. The technique i use is oil on canvas but recently i also use digital art using a graphics tablet.

My first exhibition took place in 2023 in my city, in a space dedicated to the painters of Turin.
