Interview by Jimon

1-Alejandro Vezzani, one word to describe him? A dreamer.

2-Where do you reside and work currently?  I live and work in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

3-Did you have any training for art or is it inherent?  No, I did not receive any training. Art for me is inherent, it is something or everything I see what inspires me.  And that does not come with any training.

4-Do you remember the first piece of art that you created?  Yes, I was nine years old, and it was a drawing of strange animals in black and white.

5-When did you first start making art and what lead you to start?  I do not know exactly when I started, but I definitely felt the need to express everything that was spinning in my head.

6-Best advice you ever received in regards to your art?  That I should never give up, that everything is possible.

7-What influences you as an artist?  Everything and anything that happens around me. I am always aware of and paying attention to my environment.

8-Do you first draw a mock-up?  I go straight to the drawing the original work, I stick to what happens at that moment, what is dictated by my inspiration.

9-Your pieces are extremely intricate, and time consuming, what is the longest you have spent on a piece?  I lose the notion of time when I work, It’s hard to remember which one took me the longest.

10-Are the colors in your art indicative of your state of mind?  The colors are a physical and mental need for me, they are the characteristic of my positive personality.

11-How would you like to be seen as an artist years from now?  As someone who tries to be original.

12-Do you have a place/person/thing that you visit for inspiration?  In general, places, people, objects, they are all reasons for inspiration to me.  My art sees beyond all these things that inspire me.

13-If you could have dinner with three artists living/dead who would be at your table?  Da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and John Lennon.

14-Name three things you can’t live without in your studio?  Incense, Coldplay and imagination.
