The painting "Como es arriba es abajo" (As Above, So Below) by Alex G. Lazard is a powerful figurative creation imbued with psychological urgency and philosophical weight. Drawing inspiration from the ancient hermetic maxim of universal reflection, this contemporary artwork choreographs a tight gathering of stylized, solemn faces across a fragmented plane. While several figures directly confront the viewer, others hang upside down or tilt dramatically, generating a psychological mirror effect that questions identity, polarity, and cosmic balance.
The composition is defined by its volcanic, earth-driven palette, dominated by striking flashes of burnt terracotta orange, deep shades of raw umber, and chalky whites that carve out the physical forms. The visible, heavy brushwork and rich texture give this original painting an intense physical and emotional presence. "Como es arriba es abajo" stands out as an exclusive artwork, perfectly curated to infuse a luxury interior design project with raw aesthetic strength, poetic mystery, and a sophisticated avant-garde spirit.

Alex G. Lazard
Born in Mexico in 1986, Alex G. Lazard is a leading contemporary painter and printmaker. He completed his training across Mexico and Europe—including "La Esmeralda" in Mexico City, the University of Barcelona, and the Angel Academy in Florence—and refined his skills under the guidance of master Gilberto Aceves Navarro.
Lazard’s work stands out for its bold experimentation with unconventional materials, using linoleum as a canvas, tar as a base, and chalk mixed with paint to add deep texture. Likening his process to Butoh dance, he seeks to "disappear" while painting, letting the artwork channel characters directly from the unconscious mind. His creations fluidly navigate between figuration and abstraction, exploring daily life, spirituality, and the complexity of human connections.
With over 20 collective and 18 solo exhibitions—including prominent shows at Casa Barragán and the Senate of the Republic—Lazard’s art is widely acclaimed by critics and major national media outlets (CONACULTA, La Jornada, El Universal), establishing him as a key figure of his generation.
