Jordi Alós works between Mexico City and Mérida. His training brings together advertising design at the Instituto de Mercadotecnia y Publicidad, academic drawing at Academia Goya, and his time as an auditor at Academia de San Carlos, alongside a mural and graffiti practice that began around 2012.

Alós paints in layers, allowing digital sketches, collage, and photographs to emerge beneath oil paint and aerosol. Two hands coexist in his drawings. One is academic, building the volume of the body through a firm contour; the other moves freely with aerosol, transforming the background into writing. Color follows the temperature of the scene, leaving likeness in the background, except for the bands of white, black, and different colors that make up the mask.

Conceptually, he is interested in how one belongs to a group. To explore this, he turns to boxing, lucha libre, sumo, and tennis—sports that enclose their figures within spaces governed by inherited rules and separate those who fight from those who watch. The mask is there to reveal, yet through constant revelation it ultimately takes the place of the face. Machango, born in 2015 from a discarded self-portrait, carries this condition from the ring into the street. In his recent works, the struggle extends toward conquest and the European garden, a refuge that ultimately reveals itself as a form of domination.

Alós has exhibited solo at Galería Secreta in Mérida and Vroom & Varossieau in Amsterdam, and has participated in group exhibitions at König Galerie, Daniela Elbahara, and Galería Unión in Mexico City; The Lodge and Lorin Gallery in Los Angeles; and Black Gallery in Antwerp. His work has been included in institutional programs at MOYA Museum of Young Art and STRAAT Museum, as well as in the Asian touring exhibition Coexist with Sesame Street. His work is held in private collections across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
