Biographie – Amérique du Sud (1942 – 1947)

En pleine Deuxième Guerre Mondiale et sous l’économie chancelante au lendemain de la Guerre Civile, il est dérisoire de recevoir en Espagne les rendements des biens de la famille au Chili: la monnaie espagnole est sur-dévaluée. Alejo, sa mère et son frère décident de partir pour l’Amérique du Sud. Ils arrivent d’abord à Buenos Aires, véritable havre de paix et abondance.

Puis, ils s’installent à Santiago du Chili pendant deux ans. Alejo devient connu, reçoit des commandes de portraits et expose en novembre 1943 au Salon National dans le Palais de la Alhambra.

En 1944, de retour en Argentine, le jeune peintre jouit d’une importante renommée et les portraits se multiplient. Il fréquente plusieurs artistes et rencontre sa future femme, Tilda Thamar,une star du cinéma argentin. C’est un temps de bonheur et d’optimisme.

Les commandes se succèdent, Alejo s’auto définit comme portraitiste.
