Alan Goldberg

Some people are realists and others artists. Alan find himself somewhere in between. He uses photography as he could not capture the world as he saw it as an artist. Alan started to turn his photography into art as he wanted to express himself in a new and unusual way. He has been exhibiting his photography since 2014. It was not until he moved to Florida that his perception of photography and creation of art were recognized. Within a few months of Alan’s move, he was a part of Art Basel/Miami Art Week 2022, 2023 and again in 2024. During last year’s Art Week, his work was said to be “refreshingly unique and beautiful” by Publisher John Haffey of Art World News. He has also exhibited at NY Art Expo and Art San Diego. He has been published in Vogue, World Wide Art and Contemporary Art Magazines. All of his prints are printed on aluminum, limited edition and numbered (no more than 25 prints for sale) and come with a certificate of authenticity.

 

What is your background and how did you start your journey in the art world?

“I used my camera to capture people and things I could not draw accurately. I entered my first photo contest 10 years ago and only got more encouraged by the results. I then started to get into small art shows, then finally, when I moved to Florida, I was invited to show my work at Miami Art week in 2022, 2023 and now 2024.”

What inspires you?
