Hi, I’m Alejandra Caballero,

a Mexican artist based in Mexico City.

My journey began in my mother’s tiny art studio, where I spent hours drawing as a kid, surrounded by paints and art books. That early creative environment sparked a passion that’s only grown stronger.

I studied visual arts at La Esmeralda, but much of what I know came from learning online—thanks to generous artists sharing their process. That spirit of sharing is what inspires me to teach today.

I specialize in portraits—especially animals—with vibrant colors, playful backgrounds, and a mix of realism and bold, expressive strokes. My process is intuitive and meditative, rooted in strong fundamentals but open to discovery.

In this course, I’ll guide you through the exercises that helped me most and show you exactly how I create my signature cat portraits, step by step.
