Information provided by the Artist: Alejandro Rubio’s paintings are intended to create a world of their own, in which imagination, observation, and interpretation collide to address, in a very unique way, the human experience. Imaginary buildings, streets and avenues, parks and gardens are arbitrarily put together as a set for a fantastic play in which undefined stories seem to be about to unfold. A solitary figure crossing the street, sometimes a woman carrying a bag, all become protagonists of these situations which the artist opens for the viewer to resolve, establishing this way of communication he greatly enjoys. Memories of different urban spaces are the material these inventions are made of. “I try to revive emotions and feelings I experienced in certain cities I’ve been to. Perhaps that’s why people identify in my imaginary cities, places they recognize.” explains Rubio. “There’s definitely a sense of longing in my paintings.”
