Levin's main painting styles are Surrealism and Realism, featuring a range of works in oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal and tempera paints. He paints in the original manner of 16th century technique, which is multilayered use of tempera and oil with no brush strokes.

Currently he is working on two themes: "Tradition of Jewish Heritage" and "Venice Through the Mask's Eyes". The earlier paintings from "Mask collection" were introduced in year 2002 at Bugno Art Gallery in Venice, Italy. For these works, Alex Levin received the scholarship to Venice Academy of Art to support artist's continuing artistic development and enable him to devote substantial time to the creation of new work.

"Tradition of Jewish Heritage" is a collection of work of Jerusalem's holy Western Wall and it's surrounding religious neighborhood.

The majority of his paintings are displayed in private and institutional collections and galleries of Israel, Belgium, USA, Australia and Russia and have been reproduced on the covers of books and other printed matter.
