I recently became aware of Alejandra's work through a communication from
diagrama, where she is currently exhibiting alongside
Omar Rodríguez-Graham. What struck me at first sight is how the
oeuvre of this young and talented Mexican artist is immediately engaging. From what I just learned, she is mostly known for her photographs, yet she is expanding her
vision through painting and sculpture.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alejandra is an internationally awarded artist, currently living and working in Mexico City, She earned her BFA from
RISD, and her MFA from
SVA. Her recent body of work testimony of this remarkable background.
"I’ve always been passionate about art, and photography felt like the
best outlet for my creativity. Since I was little, I always carried a
camera around with me, and I think this was a great exercise because it
taught me to look at the world in a very specific way. I began to notice
all the small details, and see things for their potential as an image. The photographs are an extension of my eyes, my voice, and a reflection
of the way that I perceive my surroundings."
From an interview in wow, February 11, 2012.
Innovative,
"de propuesta", as we say in México. Intriguing, expansive.
