The artwork "Estrellas y cuerpo" (Stars and Body) by Alex G. Lazard is a visually powerful piece where the canvas takes on the qualities of a stone wall or an ancient cave fresco. Rooted in a textured, modern primitive style of contemporary art, the composition depicts an allegorical encounter: on the left, a nude figure seen from behind stands with raised arms as if invoking the cosmos, while on the right, a mysterious horseman rides beneath a sky striated with kinetic lines and scattered with primal, minimalist stars.
The extraordinary surface work—utilizing a granular, sand-like medium layered with earthy ochre, chalky white, and dusty pink pigments—gives this original painting an incredible tactile and three-dimensional depth. The raw, incised outlines reminiscent of modern cave art interact dynamically with shifting light. "Estrellas y cuerpo" stands out as an exclusive artwork, perfectly curated to infuse luxury interior styling with raw heritage, poetic storytelling, and avant-garde character.

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.
