Alejandro Monge's portraits defy the confines of flat canvases, reaching beyond the visual limits of two-dimensional art. His works, influenced by Caravaggio's chiaroscuro and the mastery of John Singer Sargent, possess a sculptural quality that pushes against the boundaries of traditional space.
Despite his background in sculpture, Monge's painted elements exhibit a hyperrealistic allure reminiscent of photography, skilfully deceiving the observer's eyes.
