Alejandro (Alex) Roman Jr. was born in Houston, Texas on January 1, 1982. His interest in art began to take shape at the early age of 7. His creativity and interest in drawing grew stronger throughout his childhood and his natural talent became hard to ignore.

Roman began his artistic excursion by drawing realistic portraits. He has a sharp eye, which allowed him to take an image as simple as a Polaroid and bring it alive with stunning texture, bold lines, and soul. His realistic drawings were more than just the picture you gave him to paint. His portraits were infused with his personality, talent, and vision.

Roman has been focusing on commissioned work for the last few years, his eye for color and desire to push boundaries and experiment with daring concepts is transforming his voice as an up-and-coming artist to one that needs to be heard. Roman is being drawn away from realism and is settling comfortably into surrealistic, abstract, and conceptual ideas.

Roman's art is inspired by the environment he grew up in and around for most of his life. It is the unsuspecting beauty of unconventional inspirations like graffiti, post graffiti, technology, and pop culture that gives his work such depth. He uses whatever medium he has available to him, but currently works with acrylic, airbrush, paint markers, oils and spray paint.

No subject - is off limits for this young artist. Every moment is an opportunity to turn the mundane into something bright. In everything there is the chance to make something beautiful and change your perception of the world.
