Born in Torreon, Mexico in 1983 Alejandro soon moved
overseas and spent most of his youth in Spain and Germany.
His interest in art began at an early age and grew
into a passion in his late teens. A self-taught artist he
has explored many styles and mediums of art such as
realism, abstract and use of graphite and charcoal. After
serving eight years in the U.S Air Force he chose to
move to San Angelo, TX to be present in his daughter’s
life. In less than a year he opened the Vino Dipinte Art
Gallery and began his artist career.
After just two short years Alejandro has established
a firm presence in the local art community as well he
has been featured as an emerging artist in Visual Language
International Art Magazine, and has been published
in American Art Collector. He held a solo-show
in November 2013 where he exhibited over 20 portrait
paintings from which only a handful remain. His secret
to acheiving such an incredible pace of success, “I don’t
stop dreaming even when I’m awake, every event is an
opportunity and every obstacle a new door waiting for
me to walk through it. Attitude is everything and there is
no such thing as a prayer answered without hard work”.
