Al Saralis graduated from Newport School of Art in 1977 with an Honours degree in Fine Art.

The human figure has always been Al Saralis primary source of inspiration since early life drawing sessions at Art college. This fascination in the form, structure and movement of the figure continues to be central to Al Saralis's art work.

Al Saralis paintings are typically a single figure which is stripped of any narrative reference. His figures often communicate a sense of quiet reflection and have an enduring and haunting quality.
