Before starting his university studies Alejandro Cabeza studied for one year at the School of Artisans, Community Foundation of Valencia, directed by Luis Massoni, nephew of the famous painter Manuel Benedito Vives. Mr. Cabeza started taking lessons in drawing and painting at age twelve. In 1993 he received his degree in Fine Arts at the San Carlos Faculty of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (now Technical University of Valencia).
Mr. Cabeza devotes most of his time to painting. Some of his paintings are on permanent exhibition in official buildings or make part of the holdings of several State bodies or institutions, such as the Fine Arts Circle of Valencia, the Military Government of Valencia, Provincial Council of Valencia (Portrait of Fernando Giner, President of the Provincial Council of Valencia), Barcelona City Hall, Valencia City Hall and the College of Notaries of Valencia (Portrait of Joaquin Borrell), among others.
One of his paintings is part of the Collection of the City Museum of Valencia, other two belong to the Vicente Blasco Ibáñez House Museum Collection (one of them, his famous portrait of the renowned writer). Other of his artworks have been acquired abroad and have become part of private collections in Spain, other countries in Europe, South America and North America. Some of his paintings have been chosen as cover for several publications. Among them, the anthology of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez short stories published by Akal in 2009. Several articles about his paintings have been published in local and regional newspapers.
Among his projects still in development is an extensive collection of portraits of people from the world of culture, especially literary icons, which consists already of more than thirty works.
