About

Alexander Grahovsky (Alejandro Pastor, Alicante, 1980) is a surrealist painter whose approach combines stylistic freedom, narrative, and symbolism. Since his early exhibitions, he has participated in international fairs and projects, standing out in New York, Melbourne, Madrid, and Miami. His work, awarded in competitions like the XXXIII López-Villaseñor, is part of renowned collections.

Statement

My work seeks to assemble landscapes and narratives where the unconscious plays a central role. I paint to deconstruct and reformulate what we observe, creating surreal scenarios where time is suspended and narrative emerges. My influences span cinema, comics, and literature, coexisting in a pictorial theater that is constantly rewritten. I use a free stylistic approach, combining naïve strokes with delicate details, to reach a place that exists only in my imagination. I invite the viewer to get lost in my paintings and find their own story.
