ALEXANDER GRAHOVSKY
1980 – Alicante, Spain
Spanish figurative painter who has developed his training with artists such as Luisa Pallarés, Eloy Morales, Alejandro Carpintero, and Miguel Gómez Losada, among others. Since his first exhibition at Escalera de Incendios (2012 – Barcelona), his work has been exhibited in Madrid, Alicante, Barcelona, and Melbourne.
I have always found it difficult to put into words what the spirit perceives, what the heart feels. More concerned with what to paint than how to paint, in this creative stage, I free myself from stylistic constraints and make the process the center of my artistic production. I let myself be guided by intuition and paint for things to happen, to see what cannot otherwise be seen. Initially trying to tame the unknown, an effort that quickly proves futile. It’s better to take a deep breath and take some time, let the gaze wander around the wall, and let the unconscious start to see, to construct a story that seems to want to tell itself. Let the wall look at us, and not us look at it.
