Hi,
I'm Alex, an artist from Barcelona.
My drawings serve as a visual diary of everyday life. After spending twelve years in the UK, primarily in London, I relocated to Copenhagen in 2023, where I currently live and work.
Through my intimate drawings, I capture the quiet beauty of ordinary moments, depicting scenes of friends hanging out, messy kitchens, laundry baskets, and fleeting gestures—experiences in which the familiar reveals something unexpectedly vibrant.
A recurring theme in my work is the presence of the human figure, especially women, depicted in introspective, intimate interior spaces. The interiors and figures often appear distorted, as if the image has been pulled from a corner, showcasing elastic, angular curvatures and specific focal points. These contemporary domestic spaces feature hallucinatory, elongated visual elements, creating an atmosphere of unreality. The characters inhabit a particular dreamy state, as if trapped in a transition within spaces characterised by penetrating perspectives and subdued, pale, yet colourful tones.
My drawings are deeply expressive, emphasising the emotional and psychological aspects of the characters, where vigorous, rough black lines mingle with delicate, subtle moments. I work from both observation and memory, paying attention to small details that allow each line to convey the warmth of a lived moment. I primarily use coloured pencils and acrylics.
Thank you for visiting and engaging with my work!
