Cakes at the Patisserie Cafe Drawing

"Hi, I'm Alejandro Pascual. Thank you for visiting. I draw scenes from my everyday life, looking for beauty in the small things." Alejandro Pascual is an artist from Barcelona who, after living for more than twelve years in the UK, has recently moved to Copenhagen. Alejandro completed a Master of Art Production and Research at the University of Barcelona in 2011. Drawing has been a fundamental part of his work, creating a particularly recognisable style. His drawings tend to distort and exaggerate scenes from his everyday life. He works with coloured pencils on paper, combining energetic and delicate lines with vibrant colours. Alejandro draws things in front of him constantly, like ordinary objects taking something simple and making it into something else, something more. The challenge is how to use that reality without just making an illustration of it. His creative process is very dynamic, always having many drawings in progress. Also, he enjoys drawing the human figure and making sketches of his friends. He has participated in several Group Shows in London, Berlin and Barcelona. He has also been selected for different Art prizes and competitions like the Barcelona Ynglada-Guillot Drawing Prize (2007), The London VIA Art Prize (2020), The London Trinity Buoy Drawing Prize 2021and 2023 the Berlin Fresh Legs (2022) organised by the Gallery Heike Arndt and The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle.
