Born and raised in Spain, I embarked on a journey of artistic exploration from a young age. I eagerly pursued my passion for the visual arts, eventually graduating from the esteemed Complutense University of Madrid with a specialization in visual arts in 2010.
Driven by my deep-rooted interest in the creative process, I found myself drawn to the realm of education. It was during my time as an art teacher that I began to delve into innovative and captivating approaches to teaching. In 2013, while in London, I co-developed an extraordinary educational method known as Creativity Art Workshops alongside the talented artist David Saavedra. This pioneering approach seeks to unlock the boundless potential of every student, fostering their creativity and nurturing their artistic talents.
However, my artistic journey encompasses more than just visual arts and education. Raised in a family enriched with artistic and musical heritage, I received extensive training in classical music from a tender age. This musical foundation has allowed me to flourish as a composer, professional singer, vocal arranger, and dedicated piano teacher for both children and adults alike.
Driven by an insatiable passion for all forms of art, I find myself constantly inspired by the intricate connections between artistic expression and our natural world. Guided by a strong sense of social conscience, I strive to create meaningful and thought-provoking works that resonate with audiences on a profound level.
My diverse range of influences and talents combine to shape me into a modern-day renaissance spirit. In addition to my multifaceted abilities, I pride myself on being a patient, responsible, and trustworthy individual. It is through these qualities that I foster meaningful connections with fellow professionals, collaborating with like-minded individuals who share my vision of pushing the boundaries of artistic innovation.
I look forward to connecting with passionate professionals who are eager to explore new horizons and join me in creating a harmonious union between art, education, and societal transformation.
Warm regards,
Alexandra
