About the artist

Born in Puerto Rico in 1995, Alejandra Nanishi is essentially interested in an emotional approach with the spectator. Having in mind the idea that each image has a deeper meaning far more from the title or the image itself. Her goal is that spectators see the entire work of Art and create in them different feelings throughout the whole experience.

Her artistic passion started developing around 2007 thanks to the support of her parents. She has participated in numerous national and international group exhibitions, both physical and online, representing Puerto Rico. Some of her participations include physical group exhibitions in Puerto Rico, London and the United States. She has also participated in juried online competitions, the most recent of which, the sixth edition of Figurative by TeraVarna, the artist won the Talent Prize Award for her piece "Gamma Knife". She has also had drawings published in various books and local magazines, as well as individual interviews.

She obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts with a major in Painting at the School of Fine Arts and Design of Puerto Rico (EAPD) in 2018 and later in December 2023, she obtained her Master of Arts in Gallery and Museum Management (MGMM) at Western Colorado University (WCU). She is currently dedicated to her art and to cultural investigations.
