Alberto sanchez born 1971, spain alberto sánchez is a photographer and multimedia artist based between byron bay, australia and madrid, spain. He prints, hacks and re-invents his own photographs using a unique hand-colouring technique, creating a hybrid reality of physical and imagined worlds where photographic documentary is meshed with improbable landscapes, creating his own form of magic realism. Sánchez rediscovers the world through his viewfinder and re-visions that experience through his textured layering and evocative palette. His body of work explores the notions of urban expansionism, capitalism and how individuals define themselves in an increasingly overloaded sensorial environment. Represented by decorazon gallery (usa/ london) and retrospect galleries in australia, alberto has exhibited extensively at art fairs in europe, usa, south america, and throughout asia where a significant portion of his work is photographed. Alberto has been gaining recognition from both institutions and commercial galleries around the world. His work has appeared in many press articles and publications.
