Alexandra Torres (b. 1961) paints figures, landscapes, flowers, and equine subjects, working primarily from sketches made directly from life. Rarely without a sketchbook, she builds her paintings through observation, movement, and lived experience.

Raised in New York City, she was immersed in art from an early age under the guidance of her father, the painter Horacio Torres, and later studied art history at New York University while training at the Art Students League.

Drawn to the relationship between light and form, she studied classical painting through sustained observation of masterworks at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art.

Over time, her elegant figures evolved into fluid, surreal, muscular forms—erotic and dreamlike—drawn through a carefully measured interplay of monochrome and line.

Her paintings explore the perception of the body—its strength, vulnerability, and movement. Each piece is designed to feel physical and immersive: a sensory, oneiric vision charged with motion bringing energy and presence into the space it occupies.
