Alex Perez

Lake’s Entrance-Acrylic on Unstretched Canvas, Signed by Artist

2005

Alex Perez is a fourth-generation artist. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Santiago, he worked in his father's studio-the Ibero-Chilean painter Eduardo Perez, where he acquired most of his artistic knowledge and skill. In 1964, he moved to Israel, where he worked until 2003. Currently residing in Chile, Perez's work fuses a sophisticated color sensibility with a romantic impressionistic approach, and he expresses his passion and joie de vivre by recording Nature on the canvas. His color technique imbibes the shifting of light as the day progresses from dawn to dusk and back again, the vividness of colors breathing life and vitality in the canvas. His Old Master skills begin from his hand made canvas preparation to the hand made varnish for his paintings. The extraordinary landscapes reflect a peaceful and harmonious ambiance, as a means of transporting the viewer to a serene and contemplative visual experience. Perez's art has been exhibited all over the world, and his works are included in private and public collections in Israel, the United States, Canada, Europe, South America and Japan.
