Alejandra Laviada

Alejandra Laviada earned her BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She currently resides in Paris.

Laviada began her career in photography before expanding her practice across multiple media. She often uses everyday or discarded objects as raw material, which she then transforms into sculptural works. Her multidisciplinary approach moves from the concrete to the abstract and encompasses photography, painting, sculpture, ceramics and video. Laviada’s work emerges from the intersections between these different mediums, continuously expanding their boundaries and definitions.

Her photographic practice explores the relationship between photography and sculpture, reflecting on how the medium can redefine the meaning and materiality of sculptural objects.

Laviada has received numerous awards, including the Premio Descubrimientos from PhotoEspaña, the Mexico City Photography Biennial, and the FONCA Jóvenes Creadores scholarship. Her work has been widely exhibited and is held in the permanent collections of Museo Jumex, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico, as well as in several private collections.
