Descripción de la Exposición
"I feel especially grateful with Diana Lowenstein and with those who work in her gallery. Their help and collaboration have made an immense difference in my career. Thanks to their faith and trust in my work I am here today producing my solo exhibition number eighteen. I am very happy to have the opportunity of showing older pieces, and it is very exciting to put them all together and to see how my work has changed in 20 years. The work that I have achieved alongside with Mrs. Lowenstein, everything that I have learnt and all the advice she always offered me, have been a great source of inspiration to cement many of my goals, that without her help I doubt I would have been able to accomplish. The road has not been easy but the experience and what I have gained is invaluable." Alejandra Padilla

" I like to work in series. My first work was a polyptych, a sample in one piece. That format inspired me and continues to inspire me so much that I can not think of a work without imagining a grid with all the pieces forming one, a series" Alejandra Padilla
