Alejandro Colunga Art
Mexican, b. 1948
Alejandro Colunga Marín (b. December 11, 1948, Guadalajara, Jalisco) is a self-taught Mexican artist celebrated for his vivid, fantastical prints, paintings and sculptures. He was initially trained aas an architect and also studied music and anthropology—but chose to pursue art independently, drawing on folklore, surrealist traditions, and immersive life experiences
Over a career spanning five decades, Colunga has exhibited across the Americas and Europe since 1968. His pieces are acquired by major institutions like the Museo Amparo (Puebla), San Antonio Museum of Art, Nassau County Museum of Art, and publicly installed in Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. Recognized with awards such as the Minerva a las Artes (1988), Jalisco a las Artes (1994), and an architecture prize for “La Sala de los Magos,” his work continues to be a beloved synthesis of Mexican cultural identity, theatricality, and magical realism .
His art remains an enduring celebration of imagination, inviting audiences into a surreal world where art, function, folklore, and fantasy collide.to
