Alicia Roy

Málaga, 1986
His creative spirit led him to study fashion design at the Istituto Europeo di Desing in Madrid in 2004. In 2008 he traveled to Berlin, where he began his artistic production, culminating in an exhibition at Galerie für junge Künstler und Designer. He will return to Spain to study the Master of Proyecto Creativos PHE, where he will come into contact with the PHotoEspaña Festival through an internship. In 2009 he began the Degree in Fine Arts at the Complutense University of Madrid.
In recent years, the artist has obtained several scholarships, including the Eramus Scholarship at the Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino Academy (Italy), the Scholarship for Academic Excellence of the Community of Madrid or the IES Abroad Scholarship at Loyola University of Chicago (USA) and a residency grant from the Galeria No Lugar for Quito (Ecuador) to develop his project "Portraits of Here".
