Alejandro Medina Gómez's (AMG) practice revolves around the creation of narratives that assemble symbols humanity has employed throughout history. Using a vibrant and contrasting color palette, AMG transforms color into a character within each composition, adding emotional depth and complexity.
Alejandro Medina Gómez (AMG) (b. 1997, Guadalajara, Mexico) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in Guadalajara, Mexico. AMG crafts stories by assembling symbols that humanity has represented throughout history, using a vibrant and contrasting color palette that transforms color itself into a central character within his compositions. His work draws influence from a variety of artistic movements as well as the social realities of his immediate environment—the urban dynamics of Guadalajara, the rural areas, and the small towns he has long been connected to. These influences are consistently reflected throughout his evolving practice, where AMG reimagines these contexts in layered and thought-provoking ways, creating visual narratives that are both deeply personal and universally relevant.
AMG's works encourage contemplation of both personal and collective histories, exploring how traditional symbols and contemporary experiences shape our understanding of the present. Through humor, critique, and nostalgia, AMG’s work provides a nuanced exploration of cultural identity, connection, and the influence of symbols in our daily lives.
