Alex Corvin

Alex Corvin is a US-born visual artist based in Pontevedra, Spain, where he opened Alex Corvin Fine Art in January 2026. Working across photography, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel, Corvin creates atmospheric work that explores memory, transience, and the limits of what we can hold onto visually.
Corvin arrived in Spain in May 2024. The country’s vibrant artistic community gave him the confidence to pursue what had been a lifelong dream since childhood. After spending more than two decades running his own creative business, he made the decision to commit fully to his art practice. He is largely self-taught, developing his technical approach through years of sustained work across multiple mediums.
His debut exhibition, “Between Here,” opened the gallery in January 2026 with limited edition photography prints. Current work includes the “Stillness” series, which maps landscapes and natural scenes through charcoal, watercolor, and pastel. The gallery operates as both exhibition space and working studio, where visitors can see finished pieces alongside work in progress.
Corvin’s work has been shown in Pontevedra and is available through his gallery and online.
 

Project Statement

I work with photography, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel to explore what exists at the edges of perception. My images emerge from fog-shrouded streets, filtered light, and landscapes that refuse easy interpretation. I’m drawn to scenes where figures dissolve into atmosphere, where the boundary between presence and absence becomes uncertain.
Through slow shutter speeds and deliberate ambiguity, I create work that resists immediate understanding. These are meditations on transience, the way memory softens detail, how ordinary moments become unfamiliar when isolated from their context. There’s something worth holding onto in that discomfort, in what can’t quite be grasped.
