Artist: Alexander Guerrero

Alexander Guerrero
Is a mixed media artist from Venezuela, working and living in Trinidad & Tobago. His work strives to be informal, authentic and peaceful.
He is a self-taught artist who was inspired by his mother. As a child he used to watch her sew, making his clothes for Christmas and his school uniforms.
Now he aims to create art with paint, fabric, thread, canvas, beads, feathers, wire and whatever is needed to bring to fruition the work of art he sees in his mind's eye.
When most people think of abstract art, they tend to think of art that is difficult to understand without an esoteric explanation by a highbrow, big city art critic or created by an angst driven starving artist in a dusty garret. That is not the kind of abstract art I like to create. My original paintings are usually inspired by life experiences, nature or music and are intended to lift the spirit.

Strong composition, visual texture, bold use of color and trusting my intuition are just some of the elements that I employ in creating works that elicit emotional responses from viewers. My work, at times, may be subtle and at other times vibrant and bold, in his art he doesn't worry about should ; instead his focus is on following his mind, intuition and instincts.

Journey
My journey as an artist began four years ago, after several years spent
In time, I created my social network accounts and began showing my work to the world to this day.

Today, I market my paintings in art shows, online through my Instagram and Facebook pages.

Artist Statement
To create a powerful and moving abstract image is a gratifying experience for any artist.
To have that image appreciated by the viewer is an even greater joy.
