THE ARTIST
Alejandra Abad is a Swiss-Ecuadorian artist whose work is a vivid exploration of self-expression and discovery. Influenced by music, dance, nature, and the diverse spectrum of human experiences, her paintings are infused with intensity and emotion. Alejandra has exhibited her art in New York, Barcelona, Milan, and Zurich. In 2024 she had her first solo exhibition at Mario Botta’s Fiore di Pietra. In addition her work was featured in British Vogue and had a collaboration with On Shoes marking significant milestones in her art journey. 2025 has started with an exhibition in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and a solo exhibition in Andermatt, Switzerland.
Beyond her artistic achievements, Alejandra is deeply committed to making a positive impact. She supports the Association Cuisine Sans Frontières by donating part of her painting sales to Project El Fogon in the Ecuadorian Amazon Forest, an initiative that fosters education in gastronomy.
THE SOCIAL PROJECT
Deeply appreciative of the opportunities afforded by her education at the École Hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL), Alejandra pays homage to her roots by donating a portion of her proceeds to support gastronomy and tourism education initiatives in the Amazon forest of Ecuador. With every painting, she is donating a part El Fogon a project by Swiss Association Cuisine Sans Frontières which is giving education in gastronomy and tourism in the Amazon forest in Ecuador.
Energy, strength, emotion: this is precisely what we read and what transpires from the works of the artist Alejandra Abad. Alejandra truly possesses this unique expressive gift. Yes, because the colors and abstract shapes of her works speak to the viewer, tell a story, a feeling, a state of mind: they simply show us a small part of the artist.
