Alexandra Gaal

Alexandra is a pen and ink pointillism artist whose work explores the intricate beauty of the natural world through meticulous detail and vibrant color. Rooted in a childhood spent plein-air drawing on a family farm, her art is shaped by a deep connection to the textures, patterns, and the quiet wonders of nature.

Specializing in animal portraits from beloved household pets and backyard birds to exotic zoo animals and mysterious creatures of the deep, her work celebrates the rich tapestry of life across the planet. Alexandra uses stippling—thousands of tiny ink dots—to build vivid, lifelike portraits that pulse with energy and presence. Each piece invites viewers to slow down and experience the delicate structures and subtle rhythms that often go unnoticed in the wild.

With a distinctive blend of precision and bold color, she transforms the traditional art of pointillism into a fresh and modern celebration of the natural world—one dot at a time.
