Alexander Acosta Osorio Born in Colombia, 1980
Alexander is a graduate of Journalism and Mass Communcation at the American University in Bulgaria. He works with digital medi: multimedia journalism, blogging, photography, video, film and the web. Alexander also studied fine arts at LaGuardia Comunity College-CUNY. During his time in New York City Alexander developed a range of work mostly in photography. He explored the relationships we have with the objects that surround us and with the situations we find ourselves in every day. He was interested in how these relationships change the way we perceive ourselves, and consequently, the way we look at things.
Today, Alexander is a new stage of development in Bulgaria.
"When I first came to Bulgaria I was amused by this vibrant, emblematic, and fascinating country. Living here and experiencing their customs and traditions first hand has helped me to observe beyond the surface and interpret visually the magic of Bulgaria. During three years I have lived and recorded life the ways it’s been presented to me. It’s been indeed a discovering process. In my photographs I recollect the Bulgarian seasons in their colorful tonalities and enchanted mood."
