Alejandro Obregón was a Colombian-Spanish painter.
National Painting Prize of Colombia. He was a member of the Barranquilla Group.
His fascination with Colombian nature persists from now on throughout his work.
Condors, bulls, barracudas, seas, gardens, landscapes, fish, seagulls, images
of the wind, sun and clouds, are some of the elements present in his works,
which took on symbolic dimensions. Within this aspect of his work, the
following stand out: “Golden Fish” (1947), “Gray Cloud” (1948), “Cattle
drowning in the Magdalena” (1955), “Cóndor de los Andes” (1959), “Toro- Condor
”(1960), among others. Also many of Obregón's works were characterized by
containing strong political and social criticism. The new painters and
sculptors of that time were more committed to cultural and environmental issues
than to political events. Obregón's contemporaries dedicated themselves to
carrying out a revolution of an aesthetic or formal nature, rather than a
political one. He lived in Cartagena until his death in 1992. He was buried in
the Obregón family mausoleum in the Universal Cemetery of Barranquilla.
