Ale Casanova

Ambassador

Alejandro Casanova, also known as Ale Casanova, is an artist and art teacher based in Spain. He creates water colour and oil paintings in a contemporary aesthetic focusing on the human figure and portraits.

My work focuses on the human figure and portraits because I am able to find everything necessary to represent normality from the hidden part of the body in them. Light, colour and structure are the axes that underpin my plastic world.

Born into an artistic family

Painting has always been part of Ale’s life. Being born into an artistic family, him and his siblings have painted since they were children, but he was the only one to never give it up and make it his profession.

Empowering creativity

His work is inspired by current happenings on social networks, forums and the internet in general. The internet is also his main input to sell his works and his lessons on water colour and oil paintings in a contemporary aesthetic.
