ALEJANDRA CABALLERO

She was born 1974 in Madrid.

She begins to receive artistic training from an early age in workshops and academies in Madrid. She begins to paint because of her mother´s love for painting. They both shared lots of moments looking throug art books and visiting art exhibitions. Also, her father´s love for cinema, introduces her even more in the world of images.

At the age of 18 she travels to Indianapolis (USA) where she receives art classes at the Lawrence Central High School, which she represents in Senior Category for the “500 Festival of the Arts” contest and gets the first place.

She graduates with honors at the Complutense University of Fine Arts in Madrid.

In the summer of 1996 she attends the landscape scholarship of Ayllón (Segovia), where she feels absolutely free. She obtains the prestigious painting grant from the Rodríguez Acosta Foundation of Granada where she meets the father of her future son.

That same year she won several awards, among them the “Pèbeo Art Contest” with her companions Marian Perez and Iván Solbes, with whom she planned and made an installation in Marseille and a cultural trip to New York.

The Spanish embassy in Belgrade, welcomes her three times to develop her work inspired by the city and its surroundings and finally these trips have their fruit in a solo exhibition at the Jugoslavenska Galerija Umetnickih Dela in 2002.

At the age of 29 she moves to Barcelona where she begins to collaborate with Jordi Barnadas gallery in four solo exhibitions and other projects.

Her son Daniel Prunés is born in 2010.

Thanks to Andrés Moll, the owner of the Galeria Artara of Mahón, she gets to know the island of Menorca, a source of inspiration in many of her paintings.

The Anquin´s Gallery is her main agent in international art fairs. In Madrid she is represented by Jorge Alcolea´s Gallery.

Her next exciting project is a solo exhibition at the Kunststuecke Gallery in Munich.
