Víctor Meliá De Alba

Playful and perceptive, Spanish artist Víctor Meliá De Alba illustrates and investigates the multiple ways in which we are affected by the increasing digitization of our social and psychological lives. From photos and videos to drawings and paintings, his meticulous, figurative imagery straddles the private and public, the global and the local, highlighting and questioning technologies that have the power to unite the world and transform lives into marketable lifestyles. Though De Alba’s relative youth makes him an especially capable and astute detective for such problems, his impressive and humbling maturity lends profound depth to his investigation.
