Alex Slonimsky

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1989, Alex Slonimsky is a self-taught artist whose creative journey has unfolded across multiple disciplines. Before dedicating himself to visual art, he spent over a decade immersed in music and poetry as a composer and guitarist, experiences that continue to inform the rhythm, atmosphere, and emotional depth of his paintings.

Since turning his focus to painting, Slonimsky has developed a distinctive visual language rooted in observation, memory, and personal experience. Working primarily in oil on canvas, he transforms fragments of everyday life, travel, and human encounters into evocative compositions that balance intimacy with a sense of mystery. His work often explores the spaces between the familiar and the imagined, inviting viewers to engage with subtle narratives and emotional landscapes.

After relocating from Argentina to northern Chile in 2015 and later settling in Santiago, Slonimsky became an active presence in the Chilean contemporary art scene, participating in numerous exhibitions and art fairs. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions including Jardín de gente (2025), Aquellos márgenes (2024), and Adentro/Afuera (2023), alongside group exhibitions and major art fairs throughout Chile.

Today, Slonimsky lives and works in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, where he continues to develop a body of work shaped by movement, cultural exchange, and a deep curiosity about the human experience.
