BIOGRAPHY
Alexandra is an artist who seeks to capture what is not evident at first sight, but is perceived in the deepest depths of our being, our connection with nature and the lessons it provides. She began her studies as an architect in Venezuela and expanded her horizons by pursuing several master's programs in creativity, research, and innovation in Barcelona, Spain, where she also became involved in highly recognized architectural firms.
From a very young age, Alexandra discovered that art was her guide, a means to heal and discover answers from her inner self. Through her art, she aims to resonate deeply with people, connecting on a profound level and sharing the messages she finds in her connection with nature.
Born in Venezuela, Alexandra embarked on her journey to Barcelona at the age of 23 in search of new opportunities. Art became her main guiding force, helping her face the challenges of her migratory process and finding answers within it. Through her works, she shares this energy and messages that emerge from the deepest parts of her being, serving as reminders to maintain our inner strength and embrace the serenity and peace that elevate and drive us throughout our journey in life.
Alexandra’s work is rooted in the exploration of the human condition and its deep connection with nature, alongside the study of meditative states and higher consciousness. Through this, she invites others to experience art as a way to transcend the visible and connect with the profound, intangible aspects of existence.
STATEMENT
My artistic journey began with my own migratory experience, a pivotal moment that led me to question my identity and connection to the world. Navigating displacement catalyzed a deep reflection on belonging, connection, and human experience, which remains central to my work. In a world marked by globalization and fragmentation, my practice invites viewers to transcend societal limitations and reconnect with a deeper, universal essence. Each stroke, color, and form emerge from a meditative act, creating an introspective experience that evokes emotional and spiritual responses, encouraging a connection to a deeper dimension of existence. Artistic creation in my practice is an ongoing process of transformation, where materiality and texture explore the essential unity binding us to everything around us. Rather than simply representing reality, my work becomes an invitation to experience union with the whole, recognizing human nature as part of an infinite cycle. In this context, abstraction serves as a language that connects us with the ineffable, transcending ordinary experience.
Eastern philosophy, particularly the concepts of wabi-sabi and dao, deeply informs my artistic vision. The beauty of imperfection and the transience of forms reflect the universal truth that creation is a continuous, transformative process. This perspective fosters an appreciation of light and shadow, the visible and the intangible, as essential in the search for the true self. Contemplating the interstices becomes a meditation, inviting viewers to enter a state of expansive awareness where polarities reconcile, and a new understanding of existence unfolds.
I find great inspiration in artists such as Pierre Soulages, Park Seo-Bo, Kim Keun Tai, Claude Monet, Armando Reverón, and Teresita Fernández. Each of them has shaped my approach to space, matter, light, and emotion. Soulages evokes deep emotions in me through texture, by revealing light and matter in the absence of color. Park Seo-Bo's meditative process, rooted in repetition and abstraction, inspires my own creative state, where a sense of fulfillment is captured over the canvas. I am drawn to Kim Keun Tai's fusion of the organic with the abstract, elevating it to an emotionally resonant level. Monet’s ability to capture the fleeting nature of light and mood through the canvas fascinates me, while Reverón deeply connects me to my roots, evoking a profound sense of true identity tied to the natural world. Finally, I find it compelling how Teresita Fernández transforms her art into portals, reflections of the self through matter.
These influences nourish my creative process, where the exploration of matter, nature, and presence transcends individuality, connecting with the whole in a universal and transformative way. My work challenges boundaries and invites reflection on our interconnectedness with nature, humanity, and the cosmos. Ultimately, my practice offers a pathway for deep connection, allowing the viewer to recognize themselves as part of a perpetual, transformative universal movement. I like to see artworks as a portals to each inner universe, daily reminding us of our true self, our inner power, and the profound interconnectedness that binds us all to nature.
