Alex Dakos is a Fine artist based in Los Angeles, California. I was born in San Jose California May 10th, 1977 and raised a little outside of Los Angeles in a town called Whittier. I am a self taught artist who started drawing in the carpet at age 3, by age 5 was able to draw many Disney characters and detailed animals. By age 15 got involved in graffiti art, which has had some effect in my style today. Mediums I like to use range from ink illustration, acrylic paintings, graphite drawings, impressionist oil paintings and wooden structure art. My genre of art tends to be surrealism and fantasy, but I like to also create experimental works of art. I generally try to incorporate human interaction with animals and insects with a deeper concept behind the piece. Most of my work has come to me through visions that I write down. I currently have over 100 more visions to share with the world. Rich or poor, I know I'll be doing art until the day I die.
