Jorge Alio

Jorge Alio was born at José C. Paz in the suburbs of Buenos Aires. At the age of 18, he enrolled at the school of Arts in Buenos Aires. When he turned 25, he moved to Buenos Aires and lived in a studio apartment in the “La Boca” area in Buenos Aires. From 1991 he worked as a drawing teacher in different elementary schools. The expressive ability of the children has greatly impacted Alio to the point that the infantile drawings play an important and constant part in his iconography.
Towards the end of the 1990’s he wanted to amplify his expressive means and study something new. Alio decided to attend fashion school.
New resources were added to his technique and his world of images became one of: models, dancers and garments.
