​Hello, I'm Alex Emel, a British and International artist living in London for almost 25 years. I have been working with a variety of visual arts, such as photography (portraits, non digital), fine art, pottery, clay sculpturing and ceramic jewellery, throughout most of my life (excluding my early twenties, when I was a scientist for a few years after graduating from University).
I became a member of IFA (International Federation of Artists) in 1987. My artworks have been exhibited and sold throughout Spain, Canada, France, Portugal and the UK.

For the past twenty years I have, almost exclusively, specialized in drawing and painting commissioned portraits. However, the caricatures have become a focal point further down the line for around 10 years now. I am currently a member of International Society of Caricature Artists, ISCA (professional board).
​
The two portraits of me here have been created by my very good friends and professional artists who, actually, converted me to be a full time artist in my late twenties.
The first one - a full size sculpting portrait in clay, fired and toned.
The second one ​- oil painting on canvas where my friend attempted to capture my image from my last incarnation in medieval Spain (why not!).
