 BELEN ALARCÓN RUIZ


How to ​buy art from Belen Alarcon

​​"I am currently working on the idea of ​​understanding drawing as a sculpture"
​In order to do this, I’m introducing fundamental sculptural elements into the work process - volume, movement and different viewpoints – and representing them on paper. My topics don’t arise consciously - I start working, something interests me, and I develop it. 
​My biggest influence is life itself. Everything happens so quickly - without us noticing - that sometimes we forget our own experiences in the face of events. We only store a very small percentage of what happens around us. I’m interested in what happens in between, in the effort involved in recovering lost images and those that have momentarily - although not permanently - replaced them. I am disturbed by this but at the same time it motivates me.
I know when I’ve reached my goal when I feel the need to experience a change, take a step towards another place, open a new way of working. Although I don’t always stop my previous work - there are series that I leave open - I feel that I can go back and resume them with a clearer view of where I want to go.
It’s important to me to keep dreaming - to stop dreaming is like being dead. I think people who have real hope and commitment to what they do are always able to move forward in their work, whatever it is. I think the biggest momentum in life is to be able to feel good with whatever you decide to do.
I’d like my work to be received as a question – like a “thought bridge” image - triggering an experience that perhaps wouldn’t have occurred without it.
When I’m not working, I like to walk without having a specific plan, to take long bike rides and discover places I haven’t been to before. When the long winter comes, at night I like knitting, I make hats and I give them to my friends.
When I was little I liked to spend time alone inventing things and drawing. Later I would say I want to be a pharmacist like my grandfather. Once I was at college, with the encouragement of my art teacher, I decided to study art. After a visit to University of Fine Arts in Granada I was completely convinced.

​I spent my childhood in Cútar – the first eleven years of my life - then I kept going back and forth periodically. Like many people from Cútar - we have to leave for study or work, but a large part of our family still lives there. My most important connection now is my family and people who I care about a great deal
