In various interviews, Alejandra speaks at length about her motivation and the factors which drive her work:
“My work is inspired by everything around me. It could be a trip, an era, or a person/character which serves as the means of communication. To live, I need the most thoughtful part of a human being - to spend hours in my studio thinking about what does or doesn’t interest me. I find myself, I lose myself, I wonder why I do this, and other things. All of it, is expressed through painting.”
