Alex Serrano

About the Artist — Alex Serrano

Born in Canada, raised in Madrid, and living in Badajoz for the past fifteen years, I am an independent artist whose work explores different approaches to painting, moving between abstraction, surrealism, and expression.

My approach to painting is intuitive and spontaneous. I rarely begin with a fixed plan or a predetermined outcome. Instead, I allow each work to develop naturally through the interaction of colour, form, texture, and instinct. For me, painting is a process of discovery, a way of stepping beyond conventional perspectives and allowing unexpected ideas and images to emerge.

My artistic journey encompasses different visual languages. Unknown Destination reflects my exploration of abstraction and the freedom it offers, while Mujeres Reconstruidas explores the multiple emotions, identities, and facets that can coexist within a single person. In Pueblo Calavera, familiar shapes and structures become open invitations for viewers to discover their own images, associations, and meanings.

Although these works take different forms, they share a common thread: an interest in how we perceive and interpret what we see. I do not seek to impose a single meaning on my paintings. Instead, I want to...

Self-taught artist. My artistic practice has developed independently through experimentation, intuition, and continuous exploration of different painting styles and techniques.
