Alejandro Obregon

Alejandro Obregon (1920 - 1992) was active/lived in Colombia, France.  Alejandro Obregon is known for Still life, landscape, seascape and building paintings, teaching.

Alejandro Obregón was born in 1920 in Barcelona, Spain, where his family lived for some time. Most of his childhood was spent in Barranquilla, Colombia and Liverpool, England. In 1939 he studied fine arts in Boston for a year and then returned to Barcelona to serve as Vice Consul of Colombia for four years.

A painting from that year, Still Life in Yellow, shows that his personal style was then fully developed, and exhibits the formal elements that came to characterize his work.
