Big Title
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico of multicultural heritage, now a resident in Saskatchewan, Canada since 2002.
I was the Artist in Resident in the city of Saskatoon for the Cultural Capitals Project 2006 – 2007, working with newcomers to Saskatchewan and later with the Inner City neighborhood at the King George Community School in 2007- 2008.
As a guest artist for the Live Arts program in 2009-2011 I had the opportunity to connect with youth across the Province of Saskatchewan through internet workshops. My work interconnects photography, poetry and painting with the concepts of identity, prophecy, construction of worlds, emotions, myths, and legends. Social interventions only exist in the ephemeral experience of the participants and spectators, you might find evidence in your memory or online.
Alejandro exhibits in Puerto Rico, USA and Canada. Some of his paintings works are in private collections in Bolivia, Canada, China, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain and the United States.
Currently, I work as an Arts and Culture Consultant for the City of Saskatoon. I am a full time Artist, facilitator, community radio host, speaker, consultant, volunteer, art administrator and instructor. I find time for all of that, creating art, social engagement and community art are my passion.
