Alexander Franco was born in Palmira Valle, Colombia as the youngest of seven siblings. He has spent over 37 years following his passion in capturing the intangible energy of his muse. Alexander’s catalogue of art can be traced back to the initial spark when , at five years of age, his grandfather invited him to paint the furniture that he made. He sold his first painting at age of six, and his course was set.
After a tragic loss at the age of 21, Alexander moved to Manhattan, and used the natural energy and distractions of the city to salve his pain. This led him to discover new ways to express abstractions. He began molding acrylic on canvas. He started to see his attempts to capture the essence of the soul with bold colors and unending lines. these paintings act as a portal to a different world of color, form, balance and perception. His images plead with us to run from what our senses have known, and transport us to another dimension.
Alexander Franco is convinced that we are all on a individual mission in life. His mission is to share his creativity and to express himself though art. His body serves as a vehicle to connect his spirit with mother nature.
” When Im painting, I enter into trance, where the world around me disappears, and a connection forms between myself and my canvas. I cannot explain how the finished product forms. The ideas and images come to me, the painting tells me the colors and the forms it needs to reach its fullest expression.” A.F.
Alexander has a firm believe that painting is not only something we can see but also is something we can hear and feel. This connection can help the soul become peaceful and open to the greater connections and energy of the universe. He strives to find the synchronous melody that aids those he connects with to become more, enjoy more and share that positive energy with others.
Alexander feels that art is part of a never ending evolution. He is inspired by love, nature and the people wo leave their mark on the world.
Today, Alexander Franco’s art is experience and enjoyed in more than fifty countries worldwide.
