One of A Kind
Art is a way of living. For Carlos Alejandro, art is the art of the everyday. He explores the diversity of common man-made objects, reassembling them and creating new things, things that express a new idea. He uses the Dada concept to elevate everyday banal objects, transforming them into works of art with the intention of questioning and renewing the foundation of our beliefs.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, ordained by destiny, born to a Colombian mother and Puerto Rican father, which at that time was stationed there with the U.S. Army. From then on, his interest for visual arts grew and that is how he decided to study Graphic Design in U.J.T.L. University in Bogota. After finishing his studies, he took a different path and worked in depth on the visuals leading him to participate in a series of art and design exhibitions.The lack of opportunities and his unwillingness to conform, pushed him to travel to the U.S. to pursue his dream of becoming an artist.
In his work, Carlos Alejandro uses a vast array of non-conventional materials such as: pills, hair, bottle caps, chop sticks, etc. He takes common objects out of their context and using different techniques, he transforms them into art pieces, resulting in an interesting eclectic fusion with a strong influence of Dada. In his subject matter, one notices a great concern for the social aspect of the human being which to Alejandro, groups the universality of his environment, demonstrating a personal point of view that can put things in perspective, extending possible answers to common life issues such as human rights, spirituality, consumerism, recycling, etc...In addition to his gallery showings, he has participated in cultural exchanges, workshops and talks. He has also worked in done interior design for commercial spaces in Miami and Portland, Or.

- "Two Young Women on Couch" Contemporary Figurative Nude Female by Shana WilsonBy Shana WilsonLocated in Carmel, CA"Two Nude Women on Couch" by renowned artist Shana Wilson presents a striking composition where one woman with orange hair reclines on a light beige couch, while the other, a brunette, sits on the orange-red rug. The contrast of their hair colors and the interplay of warm and cool tones create a visually captivating scene. The bright white wall behind them enhances the natural features and intimacy of the subjects, making this artwork a profound exploration of the female form and the dynamics of human connection. Wilson's masterful use of color and composition adds depth and emotion to the piece. About the Artist: Over seven billion souls exist on this planet, each with a unique face and story. Shana transfers her visceral love for the human landscape to canvas, tenderly cradling its peaks and valleys, darkness and light, colors and neutrals, empty and full, hard edges and soft curves. Each brush stroke creates a controlled cacophony as it assembles the intricate jigsaw of the human face. An entire life’s journey is written on this human landscape; a journey that begs to be documented and treasured. Shana’s legacy project is to paint inspirational women from all walks of life, inclusive of all cultures and orientations. The subjects all have one thing in common; the ability to inspire and create social change. She pays tribute to them on canvas, painting a long overdue celebration of trail-blazing women. Visit any major gallery or museum in the world and it is teeming with paintings of nude women...Category
