Alejandro Escobar

Colombia
Winning Project Exploratory Residence
www.alejandroescobar.com

I am a plastic artist who started out as a painter. My interest in the image as a vehicle for the representation of the visual experience led me to explore photography, sculpture, 3D modeling and virtual reality. Thanks to my master's degree in Digital Fine Arts (London 2015 - 2017), I managed to refine my visual proposal by creating Installations that combine painting and sculpture with photography and virtual reality, they are hybrid Meta-Images that challenge the formal attributes of the image; flatness, frame, stillness and monocular vision and challenge the viewer by proposing an exploration exercise in which the image evolves over time while it is explored both as an object and as a representation space.
