ABOUT ALEJO PALACIOS

Originally from Argentina and currently based in Barcelona, ​​Alejo Palacios was trained professionally as an Industrial Designer; although recently, circumstances of his context coupled with a curiosity to explore new processes, led him to discover a new facet as a filmmaker and conceive a pure and stripped work.

​Initial curiosity and inspiration arose within of the family bosom. He grew up watching his mother painting and accompanying her to exhibitions and galleries of art. And the visits to Grandpa Enrique's house were the delight of his eyes, watching him work the wood with the dedication and affection that only a hobby can give.

 Later, the formal study provided the basis for their knowledge; But it was his work experience in a furniture factory that years later marked the horizon in his path. There he learned the trade of carpenters, blacksmiths and saddlers with whom he worked at the same time. And he let himself be enchanted by the process and the value of artisan work and what hands are capable of making with such care and dedication. The use of noble and natural materials and the ability to create with few resources became a significant part of his creative development.
