Marbella arts magazine - May 2007The self-taught artist wowed guests who found it hard to believe how realistic his work appears - almost photographic in quality. Working in oil on canvas, in predominantly silvery grey monotones, with occasional splashes of colour, Alex's works are vignettes of highly plausible, yet romantic moments.

Already a collector's favourite in the UK and Ireland, Monntoya's skills are coveted by a wide array of international personalities clamouring for commissions.
