Alexis Bester is an artist from the Western Cape in South Africa. He lives near Tulbagh at the foot of the Witzenberg Mountains on his family's farm where he also has his own studio. He started working as a cartographer, then Flying instructor before becoming a full-time artist.

His work portrays naive surrealism in a colourfull and simplistic way, with the use of shadows and bright colours and landscape scenes. Alexis also does work depicting the 1920's in an idealistic presentation of that period with subtle surrealistic suggestions portrayed in deep shadows and autumn colouring.
