Saul Alegria

Saul Alegria makes color do things it doesn’t do for other artists. Or for Mother Nature, for that matter. Saul‘s colors sing. He is quietly prolific and equally at ease with ceramics, acrylics, inks, and watercolors. Saul’s delightfully loose interpretations of members of the animal, plant and robot kingdoms have a calming presence, much like the artist himself. Saul Alegria was born in 1987 and resides in Richmond, California. He started making art at NIAD Art Center soon after graduating from Richmond High School in 2009.
