Alexander Tinei

Came across Alexander Tinei’s work and thought I would share it with you guys. He was born 1967 in Caushani, Moldova and lives and works in Budapest, Hungary. I find his work dark, yet fascinating and I like how his subject matter is almost common, but the style that he paints them in transforms them into something beautiful and far from common.

– Alexander Tinei ‘tattoos’ his subjects with blue markings that are layered onto finished portraits rather like painterly graffiti. At times applied heavily, like make-up, in other works delicate lines spread like veins or hairline cracks over flesh.
