Artist statement “Reflecting on the experience”
Large series of works on a specific topic. Angels, humans – about love, roads and signs – about the city and cars, Cosmos – about the eternal and grandiose. Strategically, Alexandra is absolutely free and unpredictable. But tactically – within a topic – indicatively disciplined. She is faithful to the chosen technique and to herself as an artist, consistently following the spirit of love for the precise geometry of lines and colours. Transparency, the play of light and shadow. The unpredictability of these effects makes the process of creating a piece of art exciting and playful.
