Alvin Koay is an entrepreneur and a self-taught contemporary artist who is best known for his intuitive style of painting.

Resonating with the abstract expressionism movement of post world war II, he is influenced by early works of Willem de Kooning, Basquiat, Picasso and other great painters of that era. All of his works are based on impulses, spontaneity and improvisation. He constantly finds “accidental aesthetics” as he attacks the canvas with vigorous colors, lines and textures.
