LaNord - Enric Alberti

Enric Alberti (La Nord) spent the first five years of his life in Llagostera, then moved to Girona, where he still lives today. In 2020, after the first COVID lockdown, he took his first steps into the world of painting.

From a young age, he was connected to art. His father was a painter. His art was mainly landscapes, then became hyperrealistic. Although close to this world, he never showed enough interest to dedicate himself to it. However, he was always surrounded by the smell of paint. It was only two years earlier, purely for pleasure and entertainment, that he picked up the brushes again. Always self-taught, he started with a set of colors and then bought more; he experimented with textures, seeking compositions that satisfied him. Eventually, what was initially a game or hobby took an important place in his daily life.

The excitement and desire to paint drive him to pick up the brushes every day and disconnect from daily problems. When he paints, he creates a timeless space where it is just him and his painting. It is the here and now through the language of painting. Music plays an important role in his works. Every time he paints, he does so with music, of all styles. The music he listens to influences his painting. Many of his works bear the names of songs that inspired him and that he was listening to at the time of their creation.

Each painting is based on his mood at the moment, his experiences, feelings, and emotions. He tries to capture what he feels, sees, or hears irrationally and translate it onto the white canvas. Often, he has an idea in mind that he wants to represent, but it always ends up being completely different from the initial concept. That is why he identifies with "serendipity." Art leads him to explore new unexpected paths that turn out better than expected.
He strives to leave the viewer the freedom to find their own meaning in each painting.
