« I try to capture the contemporary chaos, the past, present and future of various events within a two-dimensional plane, giving it a superposition of figures and images of different hierarchical order. »< /blockquote>

Felipe Alarcón is an award-winning painter, draftsman and printmaker whose works have been exhibited in Costa Rica, Spain, Peru, Germany, France, the United States and Italy. His artistic process is nourished by the 'chronicles of the day to day'. Alarcón is interested in reflecting the chaos of modern life and representing different universes through microworlds to create parallelism.  His figurative compositions are made using mixed techniques and recycled materials.
