Born in 1974 in Havana, Cuba, Astrid Alcayaga immigrated to the Unites States in 2005 and established residence in Miami, Florida, where she lives and works.

Alcayaga comes from a Chilean background, both of her parents are from Chile. She is essentially a self-taught artist that embraced painting as a means of expression, exploring her personal identity, both past and present with her palette of bright colors in what she calls herself "A True Colorist"

Expressing woman's modern condition through her poetic, lyrical, rawness and sweet tenderness of violent brush strokes, she depicts her inner soul search with the same approach of a daily diary decoding and registering her daily passions, obsessions and fears on canvas.

Astrid's style depicts almost ancestral symbolism, incorporating old clothing like squares with primitive lines connecting and disconnecting: "black and white, positive-negative, good-bad".

Her work is in, galleries, corporate and private collections in the U.S. and abroad.
