Artist Profile: Alejandro Vigilante
Alejandro Vigilante always knew painting was his destiny, but after several years in an unfulfilling banking career he realized he needed to follow his passion and in his father’s footsteps. He was born in 1964 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the son of artist Juan Vigilante (who died when Alejandro was 4 years old), an architect who defied convention by leaving architecture because of his sudden success during the art boom in the 1960s as an abstract surrealist painter. “Painting was a way to feel close to my father and a way to get to know him,” he says.
Alonzo Mourning Honored
When the man of the moment, Miami Heat all star and philanthropist Alonzo Mourning, walked on stage to accept the inaugural Miami Transplant Institute Humanitarian Award, a crowd of nearly 400 stood up and applauded thunderously. Mourning, with customary humility, thanked the presenter, UM President Donna E. Shalala, and the audience, which included several of his fellow organ transplant recipients. Mourning, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2003, became spokesman for the Transplant Institute in 2008 and has been spreading the word about the skilled surgical teams that perform more than 500 life-saving adult and pediatric transplants each year, making the institute one of the busiest in the nation.
