About the Artist

Alejandro Caiazza in his NYC studio (2012) 

Born in Santa Fé Argentina in 1972, Alejandro Caiazza has italian roots and was raised in Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela. He was trained in architecture and fine arts at the Jose Maria Vargas University in Caracas Venezuela. His first one-man art-gallery exhibition as a fine artist was on April 1999 in the “Sala de Arte de Sidor” in Ciudad Guayana, Venezuela. In 2000 Caiazza moved to Paris, France where he lived and worked for 10 years.

Caiazza started his abstract paintings mainly with black, white and grey, giving him a vehicle to express his interior anguish. The black in his work symbolized emotions, the white was the rationalization and essential for the existence of black, while the grey brought balance. 

In 2010 he developed a universal language by mixing various traces, signs, figures, and colors communicating feelings and sensations known to all. By the end of the year he exhibited at the Lavatoio Contumatiale in Rome, Italy.

Caiazza currently works and resides in New York City. He continues creating extraordinary pieces that reflect the artist's emotions. In his most recent work he demonstrates a strong passion on american pop culture, embracing traditional forms expressed in primary colors and sometimes adopting a 'naive' technique.
