Ancient Connection by Alejandro Carlini

Born in Barcelona, Spain, Alejandro Carlini discovered his passion for drawing at the age of thirty and committed to study at the famous Academy of Fine-Arts of La Llotja. After completing his formal training he spent two more years studying illustration at the Escola Joso with the strong intention to expand and consolidate his knowledge of different techniques, both analog and digital. With a special interest for botany, portraiture and human figure, in his personal work with a great enthusiasm he dwells upon the antagonistic dream-like concepts blending together the forces of nature and technology. Today with his distinctive neo-futuristic style and a splendor of his unbounded imagination, Alejandro adorns the piece of Universe on our way to the Unknown.

I am a storyteller, so I am not going to venture into the debate about whether or not these creatures are or were ever ‘real’. For me, they are alive in our storied imagination, in our landscape and in the shallows and depths off our forests.
