In his early teens he was severely depressed and became hospitalized, as an escape he indulged himself in art.
I think that Alex is just expressing the inner demons that he has to deal with day after day. His images remind me of something that i would of thought was under my bed as a child but a lot brighter in color. He creates these gruesome, morbid, and completely out there images but paints them with bright colors. I think its a way for him to cope with those demons by making them seem less threatening, because i mean who could take a monster seriously when their pink?
these are some websites of interviews with Alex:
