Andrés Alarcón is a Colombian painter whose work is part of a contemporary cultural moment that has brought painting back into focus as a field of aesthetic commitment and as a response to the evolving creative demands of contemporary art.
An emerging figure within the new Colombian figuration, Alarcón draws upon the cultural legacy of European artistic traditions while representing the world through the intimacy of everyday life in Latin America.
His work, characterized by strong aesthetic conviction, poetic force, and remarkable technical skill, presents scenes and portraits that reveal a refined understanding of volume, a sensitivity to detail, and a distinctive ability to achieve visual synthesis.
Driven by dedication and passion, Alarcón has participated continuously in both solo and group exhibitions since 2005, accumulating more than 30 exhibitions in Colombia and internationally, including the United States, Ecuador, and Spain, as well as presentations in several museums in Mexico. Notable highlights include his participation at the MEAM – European Museum of Modern Art in Barcelona and at the Florence Biennale in Italy.
