The art here is created by Robert Alden in his studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I paint a lot of portraits, and a few other things, too. My style ranges from high-fidelity likenesses to loose, expressive renderings. Mostly, I aim to do a terrific job capturing my subjects. Now shipping to Canada and Europe. Learn more below.
Say hello to me at robertaldernart@gmail.com or at my contact page. If you’re local, pay me a visit at my studio in the Northrup King Building in Minneapolis.
I settled in Minnesota after living around the world. I love people, and am as keen to learn their stories as I am to create works of art for them. Sometimes I even write their stories down.
The paintings are contemporary. The technique is very classical, including loose underpaintings, grisailles, glazes, and impastos. The more paint, the better.
People commission paintings to celebrate the people in their lives, for special occasions, for birthdays, for graduations, retirements, weddings, holiday gifts, memorials, and, sometimes, “just because.” Reach out via my contact me page to reserve a space for a painting of your very own this year.
