Alejandro Giraldo is a  painter whose work explores the intersection between realism and abstraction, with a strong focus on imagination, surrealism, and the culture of work.  Working primarily with acrylics, oils, charcoal, and oil pastels, Giraldo often integrates elements from his background in electronics and design. At times, he incorporates electronic components directly into the canvas, merging the mechanical with the expressive. His paintings frequently feature recurring characters inspired by office workers, forming satirical and whimsical narratives that reflect on contemporary life.

Giraldo has exhibited at the Define Art (SCAD, 2025) and Printmaking Showcase  (SCAD, 2024) at Alexander Hall. He has been part of several actions in Colombia, showcasing his work in colombian galleries and museums,  2 solo shows at ANDES university and UNAL University. He is the recipient of SCAD’s Educator Scholarship and was honored with the Painting Department Memorial Scholarship in 2024. 

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering (PUJ Bogotá, 2009), Graphic Design (LCI Bogotá, 2012), as well as a Master’s in Visual Arts (UNAL Bogotá, 2022). He currently lives in Savannah, Georgia, where he is pursuing an MFA in Painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).
