About Gabriel Alcala
Gabriel Alcala is an illustrator based in Miami. Alcala’s approach to illustration is one of a kind, adapting to the project. For example, he may find himself at his corner coffee shop working on editorial illustrations or painting and woodcutting from his home studio. But he will always sketch as a starting point and spend most of his time doing so.
Alcala’s Visual Narrative
Gabriel is attracted to the unexpected visual narrative of things and draws as a way to comprehend himself and the world around him. His work translates from traditional stories to unpredictable, subtle elements.
Alcala attempts to find humor in life, the beauty in a mess, the magic in the ordinary.
But the abstract beauty of Gabriel’s settings is close to bizarre and raw affections. The resulting collision between the beautiful and the odd is authentic and uplifting – a unique style as genuine, thoughtful, and colorful.
Making a Few People Laugh.
Besides enjoying creating, Gabriel also finds it rewarding when his work resonates with people. Sharing work on Instagram and instantly receiving feedback gives him the chance to cultivate an authentic community and a resonating audience.
Recently, his work has been understandably about the pandemic. He tries to bring a little humor despite all the hard times. To Gabriel, making a few people laugh in a challenging situation is what makes his day.
