Alexander V Molina born in Cuba (1994), currently residing in Louisville, KY. He is a painter graduated from the Academia Profesional de Artes Visuales ALBA in Holguin, Cuba, earning his Degree in Visual Arts from 2009 to 2013. Afterward, he pursued a BFA in Visual Arts at University of the Arts in Havana from 2016 to 2021.
Molina is best known for his evocative compositions that explore the intersection between mental imagery and pictorial space. His work approaches information as layers that overlap and merge to construct new narratives. He is interested in the direct relationship between historical photography and painting.
Molina’s work is characterized by a focus on memory, perception, and the fluid boundaries between inner and outer realities. He classify his style as metaphysical realism and explore the connections between the anthropological and the natural, using painting to discuss immediate reality and its historical context. Among his most significant projects is the ongoing series Anthropic Elements, in which he investigates the construction of mental landscapes through gestural mark-making, historical photography and spatial distortion.
He has exhibited widely in galleries and institutions across the United States and internationally, including solo and group exhibitions in Louisville, Miami and Havana. His work is held in several private collections in USA, Canada and Spain.
