Alessandra Albin
All people have a rich cultural heritage that shapes their unique perspective. My background is spanning from Europe and North America.
I was born in Mexico City to Italian parents. Actually, my family line has roots in the German, Austrian and Czech culture. Now you understand where I am coming from. Life for me is a sort of Fragments, a puzzle that I needed to put together as an artist. I feel in many ways like archaeologist in search of that final terracota shard that would complete a Roman vase. I describe myself through the characters I create. Each of my creations have a piece of myself inside. They are fragments of my life.

FERNANDO ANDRIACCI
Fernando Andriacci Originally from Cuicatlán, Oaxaca, Fernando Andriacci has dedicated his professional career to art and its various expressions, balancing practical and theoretical approaches. However, his role as a founder of the Taller de Artes Plásticas Municipales y Pintura Monumental Rodolfo Nieto gave him the necessary momentum to define his artistic path and establish his career as a painter. He is distinguished for his painting, ceramics, and mural artwork. His work features a predominance of animal and plant figures, richly adorned with more minor elements and decorative designs. These zoomorphic representations form a unique bestiary that brings a fantastic world to life. He resides in the region of Oaxaca, where he is immersed in an essential movement of artistic renewal alongside renowned figures such as Francisco Toledo, Rufino Tamayo, and Rodolfo Nieto. It is no coincidence that the natural and cultural environment has influenced the work of each of these artists, leaving an indelible mark on Mexican art. More than specific artistic influences, Andriacci acknowledges the impact of sharing a unique context and space with these masters. He is distinguished for his work in painting, ceramics, and mural art. His art is filled with animal and plant figures, adorned with intricate details and decorative elements.

His compositions create a playful world that seems to emerge from the same imaginative richness as his fellow Oaxacan artists.
