His Work as an Art Critic

An art critic looks at artworks and shares their opinions and ideas about them. Juan Vicente Aliaga focuses on conceptual art. This is a type of art where the idea or concept behind the artwork is more important than the finished object itself. Artists might use unusual materials or even just words to express their ideas.

What is Conceptual Art?

Conceptual art started in the 1960s. It challenges traditional ideas about what art should be. Instead of focusing on beautiful paintings or sculptures, conceptual artists want you to think about the meaning or message. For example, an artist might display a simple object, like a chair, and ask you to think about what a chair means, rather than just looking at its design.
