Fernando Alday
(Santiago de Chile, 1959)

Fernando Alday presents his personal vision of past histories cleverly entwined in his principal material; roughly torn pieces of paper, old letters, scribbles taken from exercise books, discarded receipts since forgotten are expertly assembled to form deeply sensitive collages on canvas, representative of the passage of time. Among the torn lines mysterious faces subtley verge on the invisible and often reflect influential Italian masters from another era that continue to inspire Alday to produce startlingly beautiful and original portraits.
