BIOGRAPHY

Alexander V Molina (Cuba, 1994) is a contemporary painter currently based in Louisville, Kentucky. His practice explores the intersection between historical imagery, memory and painting through a language that combines metaphysical realism, layered surfaces and fragmented visual narratives.

After graduating from the Academia Profesional de Artes Visuales ALBA in Holguín, Cuba, he continued his studies at the University of the Arts (ISA) in Havana, where his research increasingly focused on the relationship between photography, collective memory and pictorial construction.

His recent work investigates how cultural heritage, migration, democracy and human rights become embedded within the painted image, transforming historical documents into spaces of uncertainty rather than representation.

His paintings have been exhibited in Cuba, United States, Mexico, Colombia and Spain and are included in private collections in North America and Europe.
