Alex de Borba

Bogotá, Colombia

A Portuguese writer from the Azores, now based in Bogotá, whose work is a study in creative synthesis. The structural logic of a developer, the visual language of a plastic artist, and the brutal precision of a technical death metal frontman all inform a prose that contextualizes the modern, displaced self. His narratives are significant for their fusion of technical rigor and artistic chaos.
