Alex Rodrigues is a self taught artist from India, who has a unique style of painting, he paints with his bare hands and fingers, he does not use a brush or any other painting tool.

He achieves with his hands what many achieve with their brush, and the viewer cannot tell the difference. He developed this unique technique through inspired thought, with trial and error, and mastered it over the years, with a lot of practice.   

Alex thinks painting with his bare hands and fingers lets him connect with his canvas, in a way God meant for his worldly beauties to connect with each other, man connecting with woman, bees and butterflies with beautiful, colourful flowers, rivers with the rocks, river banks and river beds, the first rays of the morning sun with our beautiful world and us. 

He also says that painting with his bare hands and fingers makes him not only feel like a painter, but also like a potter, a sculpturer, like a toy maker, like a bread maker (Baker) kneading dough with her/his hands, like a farmer, joyfully working his hands in the mud to sow his seeds.

Alex's works are of a wide variety when one goes through them, a range of different styles, themes, and effects, he paints whatever comes from his heart, trying not to be influenced by the markets influence of the day.

He feels this keeps his works pure,  as he takes the viewer into a world of fantasy away from the hustle and bustle of today’s society of stress and workload, and gives them a world of dreams, imaginative worlds, gives them a fantasy world, a smile, and a moment of peace thru his colours, he also takes the viewer to the past when life was simple and pure.

Alex’s favourite subjects, inspired from being a Christian are themes from the bible, and his most favourite Jesus Christ.

Alex also has another very unique and impressive talent, nail etching and embossing, which he demonstrated in his Vienna exhibition, a very unique form of art, NAIL ART.

Alex actually etches, engraves or embosses, landscapes and almost anything on a piece of paper, just with his finger nails, a very unique talent not common to the western world nor to his own country, needless to say it was a hit. He is introducing this unique style of art to the world for people to further explore their own boundaries of creation.
