Alegria del Prado
Mexico – Spain
Alegría del Prado is an artistic duo made up of Octavio Macías Alegría (Guadalajara, Mexico) and Ester González del Prado (Burgos, Spain). They have been working together since 2011, giving life to a hybrid art form with a strong identity. Their work is highly varied in terms of format and technique, and their large-scale paintings and murals are internationally recognized.
Their style is a subtle balance between figuration and naturalism, charged with symbolic detail and a highly personal surrealist nuance. They use a singular chromatic palette to bring their ideas to life. Their work, a blend of visions and colors born on different continents, is inspired mainly by animals, organic and ethnic elements. They often blend mythological beasts, which conceal a strength, talent or virtue from which man could draw inspiration, with organic elements and personal symbols, in a dreamlike atmosphere.
