Alex Bär began his professional journey in the field of visual arts during the early 1970s in Zurich. His educational background includes schooling in Zurich until 1984.
Bär also pursued formal education in painting at the School for Design Basel under W. Mutzenbecher, resulting in his first exhibition. His journey continued with enrollment at the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig from 1997 to 2002, where he studied graphic and book art under the guidance of Professor A. Rink and N. Rauch, graduating in July 2002.
Further academic pursuits led him to the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle from 2003 to 2005, where he engaged in advanced studies as a master student under Professor U. Klieber, Professor Th. Rug, and Professor O. Möhwald.
Joining the Bund Bildender KünstlerInnen (BBK) in 2006 marked a significant step in his professional career. Since 2002, he has worked as a freelance painter in Halle and Zurich, continuously dedicated to his craft.
