Edition of 8

Alexandra's artistic practice is an exploration of the world she encounters, which she translates into large-scale paintings, immersive installations, or hand-pulled prints. In her creative process, she embarks upon a transformative journey, beginning with photographs that serve as the foundation of her work. Alexandra draws upon these initial images, breathing new life into them through deliberate acts of damage, fragmentation, or incision. Through these transformative gestures, she both deconstructs and reconstructs, offering a profound reflection on the notions of loss, grief, resilience and ultimately, healing. Drawing inspiration from the haunting shadows cast by the works of Abakanowicz, Alexandra's art weaves a tapestry of emotions, inviting viewers to embark on a contemplative journey. Each piece emerges as a poignant testament to the human experience, bearing witness to the delicate balance between vulnerability and strength, fragility and endurance.
