About the Artist
As a local Miami Artist, Alejandro expresses himself through painting and sculpture, Alejandro’s artistic inclination and eye for aesthetics became apparent at the early age of five. In his career as a graphic designer, Alejandro emerged as an all around virtuoso in the advertising field. Boasting over a dozen ADDY Awards for his work both locally and regionally, Alejandro’s presence remained steadfast in both the Latin and general markets for three decades. Alejandro would come to hold the title of Creative Director for Interamerican Communications Advertising, and later at Trimention Advertising. His quality of work garnered attention throughout South Florida and landed him a feature in Who’s Who Advertising Magazine among various other local print outlets. Despite the success and demands of his work, the love of painting that began as a little boy never died.
Alejandro holds an Associate Degree in Commercial Art from Martin Technical College and studied fine art and design under the tutelage of artist Hernadez-Lovio in Miami, Florida in the early 1980s.
Artist Statement
This body of work is inclusive of paintings and sculptures inspired by the Yoruba Religion. This collection depicts my vision of deities and icons that are being used as a method of expressing a plea of exoneration for the chaotic events happening around the world. This is my invocation to mother earth for regeneration for the sake of humanity.
