Oscar Alzate's painting process indicates a constancy that brings him ever closer to excellence in storytelling. His care progressively refers to the ability to make us believe in the truth of the rags and surfaces with which these dolls are made. The need to obtain absolute verisimilitude drives him to take more and more care of the trade. Not prompted by the will to lick surfaces. On the contrary, he wants us to realize the grotesque farce around which the existence of so many of us revolves.

The sixty-seven years of painter Oscar Alzate's life were not enough to express all his creative yearnings, which led him in various directions of visual expression such as photography, film and, above all, painting. In reviewing his career, it is clear that his searches and discoveries are typical of an artist of singular talent and great expressive ambition, unfortunately cut short by a premature death. However, the examples he left of his creativity fully reflect the lucid orientation of his research and his evident aptitude for visual expression. -2023-

The Andean landscape reaches an intimate dimension in those paramunos or sabaneros fragments that enhance the humid vegetation of mosses and frailejones, sometimes seen through the window or as an autonomous entity, and always with a discreet palette of subtle and poetic colors.

Together, the works generate a feeling of deep intimacy with the dense vegetation, allowing us to explore the infinite shades and shapes that make up these natural scenes. Alzate's paintings allow us in a certain way to decompose space and study the intricate system on which the wild vegetation of these places is built. Researcher 2017.

I really like its landscapes with native flora. Those of moor and river. In them Óscar made a synthesis of the flora in the various layers of our ecosystems. The Andes are there very well sheltered by his balanced gaze. It is in these horizontal formats that his sensitivity and his naturalistic vocation are evident. -2021-

As if the moon and the sun illuminated the earth and the air, all this almost sacred luminosity and a mythological atmosphere shows us in a poetic and creative way the work of the master Alzate, who visits the forgotten places on which the survival of all depends.
