Alberto García-Alix

Alberto García-Alix is a Spanish photographer born in 1956 in León, Spain. He is known for his intimate, black-and-white portraits of people, often featuring himself, that explore themes of identity, sexuality, and mortality.

García-Alix began his career as a photographer in the late 1970s, and his early work was heavily influenced by the punk and countercultural movements of the time. He quickly gained recognition for his raw, emotional images of people living on the fringes of society, and his work became associated with the "La Movida" cultural movement that emerged in Spain in the 1980s.

Throughout his career, García-Alix has continued to explore themes of identity and the human condition in his photography, often using his own body as a subject. His images are notable for their intimacy and honesty, as well as their use of dramatic lighting and contrast to create a sense of intensity and emotional depth.
