These works raise several interesting questions, like: What is a painting? Clearly, it’s not just a canvas or other medium that has been painted. What is an image? Can you have part of an image that isn’t really there?
In those series, Alexander invites viewers to participate in completing images that are present and images that are implied. “We think about our universe, and there are likely many universes. How would they be situated? We do not know. We have only a limited knowledge of what we call space. Yet we know that the latest ideas in string theory require 11-dimensional space, and it is fun to let one’s imagination roam around that concept. I wanted to capture the images; the rest fell through the cracks and were imaginary to each observer.

Computer Art Series has nothing to do with computer-generated images. Quite the opposite, it required an intricate process of Alexander’s paintings. He desired to convey the feeling of soul-touching people while listening to classical music, but in his case, with a symphony of colors objects by firstly painting it, scanning it into a computer, and nudging it to the desirable harmony. By working this way, it has been possible to create works that would be impossible to make with any other medium
