Back to South America for this new rendezvous with Alejandro Fischer Cardenas. The figurative Colombian artist was born in Bogota in 1971 and he later studied in the United States and Germany.

Searching for information about the artist, we were glad to find he had an official website showing some of his work, as well as a frequently updated blog. Most of the time, we can hardly find information about the ‘underground’, not yet widely known artists we select for this weekly rendezvous.

We browsed Alejandro Fischer’s website and we chose two of his paintings:

Illustrating this post: Hypochondriac. Date: 2011 – Medium: Oil on wood.
Below: The Charles. Date: 2011 – Medium: Oil on Linen.

Different styles but very inspired. Don’t miss the self-portraits section and don’t forget to check Alejandro’s blog for more!
