Alberto Pazzi (born 1990, León, Mexico) is a New York-based painter and illustrator whose work has been featured in Vogue, Elephant Mag, and Creative Boom, to name a few.

Frequently using acrylic paint and collage as his primary vehicle of expression and inspired by human connections, romantic delusions and a signature pink palette, his highly stylized and bizarre paintings are rendered in a flat style that take cues from minimalism, and cartoon- reminiscent painted lines, along with compositions of the female body, animals and other creatures. His work conveys an impressive amount of expressions and emotions moving from humor, mystery, sex, beauty and desire, all the way to emptiness, frustration, longing and love. In a way, these depictions develop into his very own self-portraits and often combine bright colors and humor.

Pazzi’s most recent solo exhibition was called “There are no edges, only places where things meet,” which showcased the very depth of experience he captures with a simple series of lines and colors.
