Heritage 5 - 2016 - Mixed media on canvas
Alejandra de la Torre Valencia, Spain Alejandra mainly works using the painting technique, combining it with drawing, screen printing and installations. Through her artwork she explores human relations with everyday-life objects. She doesn’t focus on the objects themselves; rather,
they are the means of telling people’s stories of their various reasons for accumulating things. Is it a case of attachment or fear of emptiness? Does it seem like a sentimental collection of memories or an insane fetishism? Where is the line
between a normal desire to possess and an obsession? By looking at this image from her series ‘Heritage’, what would you answer and why?
