Álex Jul

Álex Jul is an oil painter and self-taught illustrator born in Mallorca, Spain, in 1995. His work transcends conventional boundaries, merging technique with the very essence of art. As an innovator in exploring the intrinsic nature of artistic technique, Álex’s focus is on figuration, where the expression of concepts such as still life and the human figure form the cornerstones of his work. Each meticulously executed brushstroke carries a conceptual depth that transcends the purely visual.

What truly distinguishes Álex's work is his bold experimentation with the limits of the canvas. In a provocative act, he sometimes subjects his pieces to fire, creating a tangible void that serves as a metaphor for consciousness. This radical gesture not only pushes the physical boundaries of the canvas but also invites the viewer to question the predefined boundaries of art. Additionally, his previous experience in the tattoo world adds another dimension to his artistic practice.
