Alex Perez was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1946, the fourth generation of a family of Jewish artists. He studied painting in the Academy of Fine Arts in Santiago, and after graduation he worked in his father’s studio where he honed his artistic knowledge and technique. In 1964 he immigrated to Israel and settled in Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan. After his service in the army was completed in 1968, he was accepted as a member of the Kibbutz Movement Artists Association. In addition to his painting, he divided his time between agricultural work in Kibbutz and teaching painting at the Regional School. Soon after, between 1974 and 1977, he devoted himself solely to painting in his studio. In 1977 he moved to Tel Aviv where he works and lives today. His murals grace the walls of the largest synagogue in Holon, Israel, and his exquisitely rendered landscapes in oils, acrylics, watercolors, and more are highly sought by collectors all over Europe. His vitrages (stained glass paintings) also decorate the windows of several of Tel Aviv’s synagogues, and since gaining representation with Park West Gallery in the 1990s he began exploring serigraphy, in addition to engraving and sculpture in stone. His work fuses a sophisticated color sensibility with an expressionist approach, and many are in public collections displayed in Israel, the United States, England, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Switzerland, France, and Germany.
