Alex Yam
Painting
Alex primarily creates digital character illustrations. His work explores identity through fashion and gender expression. He enjoys using bright colours, saturated lighting and foreshortened perspectives to emphasise the atmosphere of my illustrations. His artwork often features eccentric hairstyles, accessories and clothing, taking inspiration from anime, novels, music, video games and fashion magazines. He also work in other mediums such as figurine making and acrylic painting.
He was born and raised in Hong Kong and moved to London five years ago. He has an education in architecture from the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, graduating in 2025. He has a fine arts background in traditional mediums like oil painting, acrylic painting and graphite sketching. He has previously made artwork in the styles of surrealism and organic abstraction, with a focus on portraiture, figure drawing and cityscapes.
