Alejandra Regalado

Born in Mexico City, Alejandra Regalado is an Austin-based multidisciplinary artist working in photography, sculpture, video, performance, and installation. Regalado creates intimate connections that explore the subconscious mind. Driven by a sense of physical and conceptual borders, her work evokes hearts craving for an intellectual self-immersing view into depths the soul of reality. In her latest series, SURFACE, Regalado documents performances where she immerses herself in rivers, open ocean, and natural caverns across Mexico to create intimate self-portraits.

Regalado received her BA in History of Art from Universidad Iberoamericana and MS in Science Communication from Tec de Monterrey, Mexico; and MPS Digital Photography from School of Visual Arts, New York. Her work has been shown in galleries and festivals across the US and Mexico. She has been awarded the Individual Artist Grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and First Place in Professional Photography at Festival Internacional de la Imagen, Mexico. Regalado has also participated as an artist in residence of the Galería de la Raza, San Francisco and the National Museum of Mexican Art, Chicago.
