Alex Charriol is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores motion, connection, and transformation across cultures. Working primarily in oils, plastic, and wood, he creates bold, energetic compositions that investigate the universal language of human experience.
Born in Hawaii, Charriol's nomadic childhood—moving between continents—profoundly shaped his artistic vision. "Growing up on different continents has enormously influenced my work. As a child we moved a lot, and that taught me to embrace change and to quickly make new and interesting connections."
This fluidity informs his acclaimed Human Flow series, which centers on the intimacy of human touch. The work's underlying narrative—unity within diversity—reflects Charriol's cross-cultural perspective and his belief that connection transcends geographic and cultural boundaries.
Charriol's practice is characterized by fearless material experimentation and a willingness to merge the primal with the contemporary. His work is simultaneously playful and profound, humorous and sensual—capturing the perpetual state of transformation that defines modern life.
Charriol studied at the Parsons School of Design (2001-2003), Tufts University (1999-2001), and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts/Northeastern University (1998-1999) before establishing his studio in New York.
