La que ves en estos momentos, surge de un cuadro que hice hace ya varios años, tomando como punto de partida un precioso poema de Oliverio Girondo, que comienza:
"No se me importa un pito que las mujeres tengan los senos como magnolias o como pasas de higo; un cutis de durazno o de papel de lija. Le doy una importancia igual a cero, al hecho de que amanezcan con un aliento afrodisíaco o con un aliento insecticida. Soy perfectamente capaz de soportarles una nariz que sacaría el primer premio en una exposición de zanahorias; ¡pero eso sí! —y en esto soy irreductible— no les perdono, bajo ningún pretexto, que no sepan volar. Si no saben volar ¡pierden el tiempo las que pretendan seducirme!"

Alejandra Valeiro, a contemporary Argentinian artist, was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she currently resides. Throughout her life, art has been a constant companion, woven into the fabric of her existence as a source of joy and solace during her leisure hours.
In 2007, Valeiro embarked on a transformative journey in her artistic practice by integrating spirituality into her work. This newfound dimension not only became the cornerstone of her artistic sessions but also infused her creations with a deeper meaning and resonance. However, it wasn't until the onset of the global pandemic in 2020 that her lifelong passion for art evolved from a mere hobby into her primary pursuit.
As the confines of her workshop expanded, it burgeoned with an array of painting materials, canvases, vibrant colors, and sculpting tools. Valeiro's artistic repertoire expanded to encompass her newfound passion for sculpture, incorporating clay and stecas into her creations alongside traditional painting mediums.
Music serves as a conduit for Valeiro's artistic expression, providing her with inspiration and guiding her towards visual imagery and forms that manifest in her artworks. Her creative vision finds resonance in the simplicity of everyday objects such as doors, windows, and stairs, which serve as recurring motifs in her paintings, imbued with profound spiritual significance.
At the heart of Valeiro's artistic exploration lies the human figure, intricately captured in sculptural pieces crafted from clay and other materials. While her preferred medium remains watercolors, Valeiro's artistic versatility extends to acrylics, chalk pastels, watercolor pencils, and any other materials she can lay her hands on.
Driven by her unwavering passion for art, Valeiro has emerged as a seasoned professional, steadfastly dedicated to her craft. Her artistic journey reflects a profound commitment to self-discovery and creative expression, as she continues to draw inspiration from the world around her, infusing her works with beauty, meaning, and spiritual resonance.
