The story behind the artwork
I drew this printed digitally, this was inspired by one of the most famous locations where I live. The Newcastle Ocean Baths. I have used a palette of different colours allowing me to create this magical sunset.
The baths pavilion was designed in 1922 by the prolific local architect F G Castelden. The ocean baths are a significant heritage asset that are free and open year round.
The Newcastle Ocean Baths are an icon - standing alone on a wave cut rock platform dominating the city's coastline. The Art Deco - stripped classical bathing paviliion sets an appropriate stage for the pursuit of bathing and swimming; in a city uniquely nestled between harbour and sea. The central tower of the pavilion is a study in the Art Deco movement while the baths themselves have been skillfully formed from a wave cut rock platform. The complex is a significant reminder of the value placed on recreational bathing by our city's residents and visitors.
The Ocean Baths are believed to be the only example of a bathing pavilion in the stripped classical style with flourishes of the Art Deco style.

Meet Alejandro Lauren
I’m Alejandro Lauren, also known as Wayde Clarke. Alejandro is my alter ego—a part of me that allows me to be loud and proud. I created them to break out of my comfort zone, to step into a space where I can truly shine, pushing past my own boundaries and embracing the fabulous person we all are.
My art is deeply tied to the human experience and emotion. I believe that the one thing that connects us all is how we navigate life’s challenges—how we cope, manage, and share our stories. Through my work, I’ve learned to embrace vulnerability, sharing my own experiences and stories in the hope that others might see themselves reflected in my art. I want my work to help people connect, relate, and even heal, just as it has done for me.
Each piece is a journey of colour, emotion, and meaning, celebrating life, culture, and the power of human connection. I invite you to explore my art, and I hope it resonates with you on a personal level.
Thank you for stopping by, and I hope my work brings you as much healing and inspiration as it has brought me.
