Yes, there was art commissioned during his lifetime, both as a teenager and later in life.

I don't think there's any art from his early childhood, though.

Wasn't this a Roman copy of a bust made during his lifetime?

Any statue by Lysippos, Leochares, Euphranor etc who were commissioned by his court.
Obviously all we have are marble copies but it's like that for 99% of Greek sculpture.

Here's one roughly contemporaneous with his life. I can't remember what the teenage one was called, though.

"The Macedonians had help up to some of the toughest conditions yet. They fought unfamiliar foes; they fought against elephants; they had solved logistical problems that would tax the British army in the 19th Century, in moving forces through this land. Above all they had fought the finest soldiers in the entirety of the Indian subcontinent. And by time they reached the mouth of the Indus, they were ready to go home. Whether they were mutinous or discontented with Alexander, the sources do not say. But at the base of the Indus, Alexander offered sacrifice to Poseidon, carried out the proper rites, invoked the Olympian gods, and the army must've witnessed this with awe, with jubilation. They had reached the ends of the earth, and they were now turning home. I think most of these veterans knew, in their minds, that while it was a tough march home westward, they had just accomplished an anabasis, a march, an event that was beyond all other events in history. And they had done it with the greatest king who had ever lived."
