Alex Jobbagy
As both a formally and self-educated artist, my practice has always been deeply rooted in an exploration of the social and political forces that shape our lives. From a young age, I have been drawn to the ways in which these forces impact the individual's struggle for survival and transcendence. I had my first solo exhibition at the age of 13, a pivotal moment that sparked my ongoing pursuit of artistic expression.
