Alex Biagi developed a rare autoimmune neuromuscular disease called CIDP that left him without the use of his arms or hands and limited use of his legs. Before his disease, Alex was extremely active and enjoyed playing a vairiety of sports. He was also a gifted pianist and guitar player, but his first love was art. Alex had begun a degree in 3D animation, but was forced to end his studies when his disease progressed.

Determined to continue his passion, Alex began mouth painting to continue his artists endeavors. Alex’s favorite subjects are animals and portraiture, especially portraits of his sporting heroes. Alex also continues to work on his adaptive computer, producing graphic designs and animation as well as music. Alex became a Student member of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists in 2021.
