A course by Ale Casanova
Alejandro Casanova was born in Valencia (Spain) in 1981. He studied Fine Arts at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and then moved to Tenerife, where he continued his training in doctoral studies. In addition, he has obtained several national and European research grants and scholarships.
His work focuses on the body and the portrait as an excuse for artistic creation. He paints in oil and watercolor, techniques that allow him to work quickly and develop figurative painting through transparency and chromatic richness. His work has allowed him to exhibit in different cities throughout Spain and Europe, as well as develop his teaching work with workshops in Spain.
