She also uses the object not only to speak about itself, but as a narrative element to address other themes such as youth precarity and gender inequality. <\/p>\n<p>Since 2003, she has taken part in numerous group and solo exhibitions around the world. She has also participated in various art fairs such as \u201cJust MAD,\u201d \u201cArt Madrid,\u201d \u201cArt Context Miami,\u201d \u201cVerona Art Fair,\u201d and \u201cMarte.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Her works can be found in private collections in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, England and the United States, as well as in the Art Collection of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the City Council of Castell\u00f3n, the City Council of Valencia and the City Council of Paterna.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;&lt;!&#8211;&#91;CDATA&#91;https:\/\/alejandradelatorre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Curriculo-artistico-Alejandra-de-la-Torre-2025.pdf&#93;&#93;&#8211;&gt;&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download CV&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_border_radius=&#8221;0px&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#x22;||divi||400&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>CV<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Studies&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x27;||divi||400&#8243; open_icon_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; open_toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x26;||divi||400&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h3&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(255,255,255,0)&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||7px|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px|||||&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; border_width_bottom=&#8221;1px&#8221; border_color_bottom=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>2019 <\/strong>Postgraduate degree in Illustration Applied to Design.

This interest led her to focus on the objects around her\u2014especially those with a special value due to the memories attached to them. Starting from her own experience of attachment to her possessions, she began to investigate the bonds we develop with the objects that surround us, the human need to hold on to things, and the boundaries between possession and obsession, paying particular attention to the fine line between what is considered normal and what becomes pathological.<br \/>From this personal experience, she gradually approached the subject in a broader sense, focusing mainly on everyday actions related to different forms and motives of accumulation, from preserving memories to practices such as collecting. <\/p>\n<p>Today, beyond using the bond with the object as the central theme of her work, she also employs it as a narrative element to address other topics that interest her, such as youth precarity or gender inequality, to name just a few.<\/p>\n<p>Attachment, accumulation, fear of emptiness, obsession, the concept of possession and memory are key ideas in her practice. It is also important to highlight that, although memory and recollection weave together much of her work, these themes never appear from a paralyzing nostalgia\u2014as if the past had always been better\u2014but rather as a gateway to a joyful and critical revisiting of what has been lived, primarily to learn from experience and move forward through understanding.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>She develops her work through painting, combining it with other techniques such as drawing, screen printing, transfer processes and even the inclusion of physical objects, sometimes creating installations where the different elements and techniques feed into one another, guiding the viewer\u2019s gaze. Even when focusing solely on pictorial projects, she is interested in the concept of expanded painting, as she considers the surrounding space to be part of the work itself. For this reason, her pieces often extend beyond the edges of the canvas and spill onto the walls. In many of her projects, the exhibition space is not a mere container for the work but an integral part of it. <\/p>\n<p>Another characteristic of her pictorial research\u2014especially in works with a more installation-based nature\u2014is the use of materials and techniques that could be described as \u201cnon-noble\u201d: everyday materials such as notebook pages, papers found inside old books, scraps, tickets, etc., and even techniques we all learned in school art classes. These elements are interwoven to bring a sense of everyday familiarity to the piece, drawing the viewer closer through materials that are part of their own daily life.<br \/>Another major line of her work is her mural practice, where projects with a strong social orientation particularly stand out.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alejandra de la Torre Morej\u00f3n de Gir\u00f3nWith this introduction, a person seems predestined to be known.
