His works are characterized by their lively compositions, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to capture the excitement and movement inherent in these activities.

The painting is part of a series that showcases various aspects of the racing world, from the tense moments at the starting line to the exhilarating dash towards the finish. Alken's use of color and form brings to life the energy of the horses and jockeys, as well as the enthusiasm of the spectators.
The composition of "Racing Scene 2" is meticulously arranged to draw the viewer's eye across the canvas, following the motion of the race.
