Alicia Quaini

Alicia Quaini was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where her talent as a painter was recognized at an early age. She studied with masters Amicarelli and Carpanelli and attended the Mutualidad de Egresados de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires. In Mexico, she studied with Melquiedades Ejido, a prominent Mexican muralist. Beyond painting, Quaini is a professional musician who studied at the Conservatorio Provincial Julian Aguirre de Moron in Buenos Aires and the Conservatorio Manuel de Falla. She also contributed to the study of modern dance at Patricia Stokoe Institute of Buenos Aires and the Escuela de Arte Dramatico of Bogota, Colombia, and earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Master’s Degree in Music.
Quaini equates her life and art with drama. Her paintings feature provocative bold shapes and fruits laden with symbolic meaning, incorporating an originality that sets them outside the ordinary. She paints with varying depths of light and sensual colors coupled with remarkable textural contrasts. Since 1977, she has had more than 40 solo exhibitions and 100 group exhibitions, with collections in Argentina, USA, Mexico, Canada, Peru, Colombia, Japan, France, Russia, China, South Korea, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Germany, Guatemala, Venezuela, Chile, Finland, Denmark, Sweden and others.
