Alejandro Monge (b. 1988, Zaragoza, Spain) began his career at the Zaragoza School of Arts, specializing in sculpture. His talent quickly garnered attention, leading to exhibitions in national museums, foundations, and art galleries, where he received early acclaim. Presently, Monge's works are showcased in prominent spaces such as the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, where he won the Government Delegation of Spain Award, and Casa de Vacas del Retiro in Madrid, where he earned an honorable mention in the BMW Awards. Monge's art is distinguished by its technical precision and conceptual depth, delving into universal themes—such as the nature of money—with a blend of irony and critical analysis. His artistic repertoire includes paintings, sculptures, and installations, with a particular focus on large-scale sculptural and pictorial works. Influenced by Caravaggio's chiaroscuro and John Singer Sargent's mastery, Monge's portraits defy the confines of flat canvases, possessing a sculptural quality that pushes against the boundaries of traditional space. Despite his background in sculpture, Monge’s painted elements exhibit a hyperrealistic allure reminiscent of photography, skillfully deceiving the observer's eye. Renowned for their meticulous detail and aesthetic allure, his artworks captivate audiences with their immersive quality.
