Born in Quito, Alegria studued in Italy and has lived in Europe for more than 20 years.
Her latest representations of the Square One series were presented at the “Biennale di Firenze”, winning the Lorenzo il Magnifico Award.
A traditional oil colour technique combined with modern aesthetics, an esquisite feel for light and an antique byzantine gold-leaf finish gives Alegria’s art work the visual impact of an old masterpiece with the unique lush finish of contemporary art.
Life is full of contrasts, but for artists these contrasts may result in the struggle between the clear and the obscure, between light and gloom. My series “Square One” represents the space where, all of a sudden, the obscurity and clarity we all have inside us meet like dating companions that rendezvous. When, in art as well as in our inner life, light overcomes darkness, it shines and glitters in the same way that my paintings take care of the innocence and purity of every human being.
