If one would look at these portraits from afar, he would think that these paintings are photographs but if he looked closer, he would see that they are not.

His set Addiction and Recovery was definitely a very popular set because it is the one wherein he poured out a lot of his emotion.

The last set of Alexander Koleszar, which was named, Just My Opinion, concentrated on the painting of scenery. What makes this different from the other sets is that majority of the paintings here depicted naked men in them along with the scenery. This is where he was expressing his own opinion about life itself and how the society tries to control the people that are living in it telling them how they should act and such.
