Versatile in the use of materials and techniques, Alberto Peral explores minimalism through a conscious reduction of visual elements, the use of simple forms and a refined aesthetic that seeks to reveal the fundamental essence of forms and materials.

Artist belonging to the generation of painters who led the Spanish plastic renovation at the beginning of the 21st century. His work, characterized by conceptual coherence and the desire for experimentation, as well as by the use of simple forms to which he gives an intense symbolic potential, has been carried out on different media, such as video, installation, photographic or drawing, reflecting Peral's creative capacity. His first exhibition, held in 1992 at the Joan Miró Foundation, served as a precedent for a long career that has led him to become well known in the Spanish art scene.
