Alexander van Gerven began his journey as a self-taught artist five years ago. His work is a celebration of the fleeting, the intimate, and the sensual. Van Gerven strives not only to capture the physical presence of his subjects, but also the raw emotion, tension, and depth hidden within a single moment. Through the interplay of light and shadow, softness and contrast, he reveals the quiet stories concealed in a glance, a touch, or the subtle lines of the body.
Sensuality lies at the heart of his portraits — whether it's the delicate curves of the female form or the strength and vulnerability of a male figure. Alexander van Gerven prefers working on a large scale, allowing space for movement, intensity, and an immersive experience. His art invites the viewer not just to observe, but to truly feel the moment. Every line, every nuance reflects connection, passion, and the timeless beauty of human expression.
About Between Denim and Skin: "No rules. No boundaries. Only the freedom of form and color — raw and unrestrained. In every line, a whisper; in every shadow, a longing. Art that does not ask, but continues to speak — softly, sensually, undeniably present."
