Alejandro Martinez-Pena

Tijuana, Baja California Norte, Mexico

I was born in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico in 1957. Graduated in Architecture from the “Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon” Mexico with a Postgraduate degree at the “Politecnico di Milano” in Italy. I live in Tijuana, B.C. since 1985.

My pictorial activity began professionally in 1994 participating in numerous Solo and group exhibitions in Mexico, USA, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Italy, Thailand, Korea, Poland, China, Singapore and Oman.

I started my artistic career as a figurative painter attracted by that form of expression in its narrative qualities, but my work is in a constant evolutionary state becoming an abundant open field of exploration within abstract expressionism, using mixed techniques and an unlimited use of color where I apply organic elements that support the theme that I use.

While the changes in my work are developed, my latent commitment as an artist has never wavered, I will continue to be motivated by the professional duty of knowing and expressing the current social and environmental concerns through my artistic practice.

If a fraction of this audience is able to experience a positive change in their consciousness when observing my work, all my effort and intention in the artistic process are justified for me.
