Alejandro Balbontin, who studied architecture at the University of Chile before discovering his true vocation, reveals that training in the structuring of his acrylics on canvas, in which the figures that emerge from his unique manner of color construction have the chromatic shimmer of stained glass. Like the American painter Abraham Rattner, Balbontin marries the fractured planes of Cubism to the vigorous brushwork of Expressionism to create a sensual personal synthesis.
