ARTIST STATEMENT
Alejandro Montero Bravo works from the perspective that contrasts in our daily lives are essential for embracing and appreciating our differences. They strive to create spaces that serve as reminders of how diversity adds beauty and depth to the whole.
Alejandro’s approach is rooted in a desire to challenge preconceived notions of aesthetics and identity. By blending materials, colors, and bold compositions, they aim to create monumental, feminine works that confront and shift power dynamics within the realms of aesthetics and gender.
Drawing from both theory and pop culture, Alejandro invites viewers to engage with these aesthetics and question the origins of their own tastes—often shaped by histories that have devalued immigrant or feminine expressions.
Through their work, Alejandro seeks to counteract this marginalization by creating installations and sculptures that elevate what has been dismissed as "lesser," presenting it as something unapologetically proud, powerful, and captivating.
