Alejandro Aguilar Bustos (Mexico City, 1962)
Graduated from the Graphic Communication career of the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas of UNAM, he worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for the editorial media, as well as for museums and exhibitions. For 30 years, he has been part of a company dedicated to the design and production of exhibitions and museographic projects.
In his free time and as an amateur, he has an intermittent personal production that has flowed in four ways: The first and most numerous, are the drawings and paintings of anatomical reinterpretations of arthropod species and diverse fauna; The second, which has been brief, are drawings of “humorous” recreations of stories and anecdotes of the urban world; the third, is of interventions of waste objects with micro-sculpture, drawing and/or painting; and the fourth, is the production of a book-object illustrated by a piece recently concluded with texts from the book “Las Enseñanzas de don Juan” by Carlos Castaneda.
Pencil, ink, watercolor and acrylic on paper or cardboard, are his preferred media.
