Alehk Rod, born in 1993 in Madrid, Spain, is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses painting, textile installation and digital exploration. Her work investigates perception and the ways in which memory can materialize through form, texture and colour.

She began her artistic practice in painting, developing a visual language based on deconstruction (fragmented geometries, layered transparencies and shifting depths), deeply influenced by her personal experience of having a reduced field of vision. This condition has shaped her understanding of how an image is constructed and perceived, and continues to inform her tactile approach to the creative process.

Her interest in perception gradually led her towards textiles, where gesture and repetition become tools for translating the intangible. Crochet and tufting provide her with a physical and rhythmic way of constructing an image, extending painting into space and volume. Her textile works retain the logic of her early paintings: layering, rhythm and the dialogue between what is seen and what is felt.

Between Madrid and Ibiza, Rod finds inspiration in the island’s craft traditions (particularly the peluts), which embody both domestic intimacy and sculptural presence. This legacy is reflected in the materiality and spatial dimension of her work. Across all media, Rod explores the boundary between the visible and the invisible, the remembered and the imagined, and the ways in which the body understands the world through touch, gesture and time.
