Alex Meilichson was born in Meridia, Venezuela. He relocated to Israel in his teens, and studied sociology at Tel Aviv University. His formal training as an artist began when he returned to Venezuela to study at the Cristobal Rojas Art School in Caracas and his studies were completed in New York City at the renowned Art Students League. Alex currently divides his time between Israel and New York and travels extensively each year to Norway, Paris and Provence where he derives much of his inspiration from the locales he visits and the fabric of life he encounters in his travels.

His imagery is typified by an imaginary and playful world where one encounters a sense of wonderment and joy. His colors are exotic and bold, hinting at the influence of the Fauves, primarily Matisse and Chagall.

Alex has exhibited in Caracas, Venezuela. He has appeared at Art Expo, New York and held a one-person exhibition at the Moshe Monson Gallery in Jerusalem.
