Born from the love between Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky and Alejandro Jodorowsky, their «spiritual child», pascALEjandro, is a painterly endeavor : Alejandro Jodorowsky - filmmaker, poet, author of comic books, the great figure of psychomagic - traces the lines, and lays out the symbols, marking the masculine element; the image is then filled with colors by Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky - painter, costume and stage designer.

This magical core of creation, which unites the names of the spouses with the three letters they share, represents a conception of love and life, passionate and humane.
