Alexander Tinti, born in Austria, graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. After a few years working for the Vienna State Opera as stage director, he moved to New York City designing and directing for various theaters, among them for the ‘LaMama ETC’ and ultimately opening his own theater space. Since moving to Thailand, he focusses exclusively on painting, aiming to fuse a variety of experiences into the essence of pure painting:

“In an increasingly fragmented world I employ painting to communicate and counteract perceived disintegration.

Though a wide range of topics initially drive me to paint, my foremost interest lies in the actual act of painting, transforming the topics into an abstract pictorial and emotional language where the theme may still be kept but plays a second role to the abstract possibilities of painting.”
