About Pigment Pool

Greetings from Pigment Pool!

This is your digital hub for all things art, established by me, Alexander Pool, in 2015. As an artist and art historian, I have always been dedicated to illuminating the pathways of art creation and appreciation for global enthusiasts.

The inspiration for Pigment Pool came from the flood of queries I received about the artistic process—from technical aspects of materials and methods to broader philosophical discussions about creativity. This drove me to set up a space where I could address these inquiries and share my passion.

Over the years, Pigment Pool has become a resource for practical tutorials, historical insights, and my personal experiences in art-making.

Across the website, topics are categorized by medium, style, and subject matter, enriched with examples predominantly drawn from my artistic practice.

At Pigment Pool, you can further explore modernist art of the 19th and 20th centuries. You’re invited look at the stories behind the most famous pieces known to the world, discovering the sometimes grotesque and strangely surprising facts carried within the pictures.

So, get started exploring the creative processes and art history knowledge—and subscribe to my newsletter for updates on the latest in art techniques and trends.
