Alan loves to roam around Museums and became enamored with the still lives and portraits of the Old World Masters. Beyond the subject matter, he became fascinated with the beauty, colors and textures he found studying the aged canvases. This led to a very unique and unexpected method for adding textures to his images to recreate these masterpieces with his images and textures he has been shooting over more than a decade.
