Alicia Paz (born 1967 in Mexico City) is a Mexican artist who lives and works in London. She graduated from UC Berkeley, École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts of Paris, Goldsmiths College and Royal College of Art,[1] London.
Alicia Paz's works are paintings that are as much portraits as they are landscapes, combining references that range from erudite painting or the history of the painted image,[2] to citations of advertising images or comics.[3]
