In Venezuela, the humble road signs—those weathered markers reading “COCO FRIO” and countless others—have become towering symbols of my identity and memory. Culture doesn’t announce itself through grand gestures but whispers through these modest details, these fragments of daily life that most pass without notice. I’ve learned that these quiet signposts don’t just mark geographical locations; they map the terrain of who I’m becoming as an artist, one small revelation at a time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ -Alexander Mignot alexandermignot #cocofrio 🥥🌴 Coco Frío on view at ranchokaya Mykonos by appointment Alex Mignot COCO FRÍO, 2025 Sand and Acrylic on Canvas 27.5 x 20 in. 70 x 50 cm AM0003
