W
hile many people share a
passion for art, few are able
to establish a successful
career based on their talents.
For Alexander Salazar, this
dream has become a reality. Born in Houston, Texas,
he has accomplished much in his 45 years. Alexander
focused his higher education studies on the arts, earning
a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies and Art from
Harvard University as well as Master’s Degree in Arts and
Sociology from Boston College. With a clear direction for his
passion of art history, he ventured to London and Florence
to pursue contemporary and renaissance art. Fast-forward
to present day and Alexander is an established artist with
pieces in both private and corporate collections and is the
proud owner of Alexander Salazar Fine Art, an exclusive
appointment-only gallery in downtown.
With over 20 years as an art dealer, he has an eye for
fine art and has curated hundreds of exhibits across the
globe. His own gallery, which just celebrated nine years in
business, features artwork from both local and international
