Alejandro Vega Beuvrin
When asked about the inspiration for his monumental abstract sculptures, architect and sculptor Alejandro Vega Beuvrin replied: “The truth is, I don’t know where I get my inspiration. I’m driven to create, and this takes precedence over the despair and anxiety we all experience — it’s an outlet for my emotions.”
Born in 1979 in Caracas, Beuvrin studied architecture and design at the Universidad Central de Venezuela, graduating in 2004. From 2004 to 2012, he was a professional architect and, from 2007 to 2014, served as a professor of architecture, design and fine arts at the Universidad Simón Bolivar.
During Venezuela’s period of civil unrest in 2014, Beuvrin moved to Barcelona, Spain, where he has since lived in self-imposed exile. Although he was a career architect, Beuvrin shifted his attention toward art and opened a studio to focus on making contemporary sculpture.
In 2015, Beuvrin created his first monumental sculpture, which was commissioned by the city of Caracas. Titled Barricada, the work comprises three large sculptures made of metal sheets designed to pay tribute to the student demonstrators who died during Venezuela’s anti-government protests.
To create his works, Beuvrin uses computer-generated spatial drawings, which calls on his days as an architect. In his studio, he has experimented with numerous materials such as iron, bronze, corten steel, wood and acrylic. However, he prefers to work with stainless steel for its reflective and kinetic qualities.
Since he debuted Barricada, Beuvrin’s sculptures have garnered accolades and critical acclaim. In 2018, he was a finalist for Barcelona’s Fundació Villa Casas biennial award for sculpture and, in 2019, received an honorable mention for his sculpture Guaicaquirón at the Biennal de València Ciutat Vella Oberta.
