Argentine artist, Ale Feijó, 54 years, has made a bold move by immersing herself in her passion for painting after nearly four decades working as a graphic designer.

Alejandra describes her work in this way, "When I paint women, they and I are one and the same person in that moment, without past or future, just the now".
