Alejandra Icaza Born in Bilbao, Spain in 1966. Lives and works in Madrid. Icaza studied at Saint Martins College in London (1985) and at The New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture in New York (1989). She is the recipient of the painting award of Fundación Barceló, Palma de Mallorca. The artist works with repetition of form, color, and shapes.
