Space for art
The mission of art is multifaceted and not limited to a single purpose. Art can be used to express emotions, explore reality, stimulate imagination, foster empathy, and connect people. At its core, art seeks to enrich the human experience by providing aesthetic pleasure, personal fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of the world.
About me
Alejandro Stock, multidisciplinary artist.
Alejandro Stock Silberman I am a Uruguayan-Spanish artist. I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1965, of Russian descent on my mother’s side, Lidia Silberman, and Austrian on my father’s side. Since 1993, I have lived and worked in Spain, between Madrid and Gran Canaria, with bases in Paris and Manhattan. From an early age, I felt a strong artistic vocation, joining my first art studio at the age of 5. Since then, I have undertaken numerous artistic and painting studies with master Nelson Ramos at the Center for Artistic Studies, as well as participating in various courses, scholarships, and workshops in Uruguay, the United States, and Spain. Today, I work both as a doctor and as an artist.

He has also collaborated and contributed as a columnist in various media outlets, offering opinion and constructive cultural critique within the broader world of arts and entertainment.
Among his key projects are: “Genetic Memory”, at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Salto, exploring the origin of integrated societies through South American immigration, his own heritage. “So Much Time”, focused on social change and the redefinition of the concept of “time” in a fast-moving world. “The Beautiful and the Profane”, a mural tribute to the moderns and the artistic pathways they opened, allowing today’s artists full creative freedom. “To Hurt, To Lose, To Love”, addressing love as a gateway through pain, aiming to resolve a needed process of integration.
He is currently working on “Migrant Memory” (since 2003), an interdisciplinary project comprising over 500 sculptures, paintings, literary texts, and spatial interventions—offering a personal and collective perspective on the integration process. Partial presentations took place at Roberto Resino Gallery in Madrid (March–April), in Lleida (May 2007), and a broader exhibition is scheduled for June 1st at the Xunta de Galicia Exhibition Center in Lugo.

Over 50 Years Devoted to Art
Everything is Interconnected
From an early age, Alejandro Stock was immersed in an environment that nurtured his passion for art, thanks to the influence of his grandfather—a passionate collector who taught him about art history, the importance of exhibitions, and the subtleties of collecting. Together, they explored art markets and auctions, where Alejandro learned to trace artworks and uncover hidden treasures, sparking an insatiable curiosity to understand the value and narrative behind each piece.
His mother, a trained psychoanalyst, brought an introspective dimension to his artistic development. Through deep conversations and her understanding of the human psyche, Alejandro learned to explore emotions and internal conflicts in his work, integrating psychology as a central element of his creative process. This blend of family influences allowed him to develop a unique, enriched approach that intertwines art with a humanistic understanding.
