About

Alec Amsellem is a left-handed artist working across film, AI, and multimedia collage, aiming to reintroduce the novelty of ordinary life. Raised in Maryland and based in New York, his art spirals around memory, lineage, and the surreality of the everyday.

He studied Digital Media at Tulane University, with an independent focus on psychoanalysis, and later attended FAMU in Prague, where courses such as Filming the Unfilmable shaped his approach to vision and grounded experiment. Alongside his creative practice, Alec works with professors and scholars in Jewish mysticism, exploring how these traditions might be carried into modern and future forms.

In addition to his independent work, Alec has gained hands-on experience across the film and television industry – contributing to productions for Saturday Night Live, Netflix, Ralph Lauren Polo, Warby Parker, Valentino, and Vogue. His practice bridges the imaginary and the practical, moving between sets, discussion, and his own evolving body of work.
