Bárbara Alegre

Bárbara Alegre’s practice investigates universal questions about being human and the entangled relationship between the physical and the psychological across the individual and the collective. Oscillating between image, subject and object, Alegre’s paintings seek to capture the intangible and inseparable interaction between bodily senses and thoughts, observing it with empathy and tenderness. Quiet, intimate and contemplative, the work supports the idea of art as a “shelter”, a safe space, somewhere to return and reflect.

Bárbara Alegre was born in 1976 in Barcelona, Spain. She is a graduate of Chelsea College of Art and Design (2003) and the Royal College of Art (2023). She lives and works between Barcelona and London.
