Inspired by life
Alejandro Naranjo felt his desire to express himself through art, so he decided to study art at the Metropolitan Institute of Technology in Medellin. His most recent theme is life, a metaphor for everyday life that exists in everyday life and in the landscape.
Expressionist painting
Alejandro Naranjo intuitively created his paintings and painted them in a primary tone to create a dialogue that transcends verbal. They are made of paper and canvas and use different techniques such as oil and graphite. They belong to the style of expressionist abstraction, and sometimes textures and lines create shapes that make painting a metaphor.
Latin American emerging artists
Alejandro Naranjo won the third prize in 2008 at the Magisterium Art Hall in the 16th arrondissement of Colombia. In 2005, he participated in the Hong Kong Arts Festival organized by the Latin American Consulate. He exhibited at the Gwanghwamun International Arts Festival in Korea in 2011 and exhibited at the Red Dot Gallery in California, USA in 2014.
“In my work, since its inception, it has been very important to try to reproduce sensations, taking as a starting point the memory to create new scenes, full of lyricism and subjectivity. With the life series, they have been suggesting images, which have a mixture between abstraction and some figurative elements. I paint and draw directly, without previous sketches from a series, concern or topic in process, to give way to free and spontaneous compositions. The life series is presented as a metaphor, symbolically evokes the way in which life gives us many things and how sometimes it also stays with them ”
