Born in Quito, Alegria studued in Italy and has lived in Europe for more than 20 years.
Her latest representations of the Square One series were presented at the “Biennale di Firenze”, winning the Lorenzo il Magnifico Award.
A traditional oil colour technique combined with modern aesthetics, an esquisite feel for light and an antique byzantine gold-leaf finish gives Alegria’s art work the visual impact of an old masterpiece with the unique lush finish of contemporary art.
