Alexander Radtke

Alexander Radtke (b. 1989) is a Cyprus-based contemporary artist working primarily in Abstract Expressionism. Rather than following a traditional academic path, he developed an independent artistic practice shaped by experimentation, philosophical inquiry, and years of continuous exploration.

His artistic journey began with a series of international exhibitions in 2013 and continued through public art projects in Berlin, an artist residency, and international gallery representation. Throughout these experiences, his work gradually shifted away from representation toward a more intuitive visual language, where emotion, perception, and subconscious experience became central to the act of painting.
