Artist Statement
As an artist, I am able to observe nature and all its aspects with a keen eye. Only if we take a moment from
our fast pace lifestyle and view the natural world of majestic sunsets to the smallest seed, we will uncover
masterpieces in our midst. I admire the works of Diego Velazquez, Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, John
Singer Sargent and Philip De Laszo and therefore I use the style of realism. With this I consider myself a
lifetime student who is forever evolving and improving as an artist. It is my mission, challenge and privilege to
use my talent to edify and unite all peoples in spite of their age, values, race, color and social status. Each
moment I face a new canvas I have the opportunity to incorporate my thoughts, energy and creativity even if
I've painted the same concept numerous times yet I will always capture a new light.
As a realism artist, I believe it is a privilege to be able to portray the real life that surrounds me. I feel very
fortunate to be able to live and paint at the same time.

Alex Loza: Contemporary realist artist, anatomist, instructor and creator of HEAD ÉCORCHÉ
who resides and maintains a private teaching studio in Apison, TN close to the new fast
growing artist community of Chattanooga. His interest in the Atelier Method spurred when
he took portrait and figurative drawing classes with autodidactic master artis Harry Ahn at
Andrews University (AU). Wanting to develop his anatomical skills Loza took medical anatomy
classes at AU's Physical Therapy Dept. with Dr. John Banks as well as drawing and open
studio painting classes at Notre Dame University.
In 1999 Loza decided to continue his academic training at Chicago's prestigious American
Academy of Art. There he took artistic anatomy, écorché and sculpture classes that
deepened his perception of form and how to create a more realistic and three-dimensional
renderings of the human form. After obtaining his BFA in 2001 Loza began serving
numerous clients in the U.S. and internationally. He has also taught after-school art classes
through the Chicago Public Schools, as well as private art lessons and community workshops.
In September 2011 Loza joined the team of instructors at Art Creations lead by artist Sandra Paynter Washburn.
There he offers academic art training classes such as drawing fundamentals, drawing from the old masters, cast
drawing, etc.
Upholding the tradition of his education, Loza has founded the Loza Studio & Atelier. There he is going to offer
workshops to local artists/ art students who would like to expand their knowledge and skills on academic figure
drawing, classical portrait drawing, artistic anatomy, écorché and sculpture. Workshops will begin this spring at Loza's
Apison studio.
