STATEMENT
My practice emerges from a migratory experience that reconfigured my relationship to territory, perception, and belonging. Through displacement, landscape shifts from a fixed geography into an embodied field shaped by memory, movement, material encounter, and emotional resonance.
Working across painting and material-based processes, I combine natural pigments, experimental surfaces, and collected matter within a single research framework. My work moves between sensory and perceptual register, from paintings attuned to environmental and emotional perception, to works where found materials guide processes of transformation. These explorations generate traces, fragments, and residual forms that emerge as marks of time and spirit of different places.
Rather than understanding territory as a subject of representation, I think of it as a space in constant transformation, where perception and matter continuously shape one another.
Each work becomes a space where external territory and interior experience begin to dissolve into one another, where matter holds memory, presence, and the shared experience of moving through time, place, and transformation.
BIOGRAPHY
Alexandra Cohen is a Venezuelan artist based in Barcelona, Spain. Her background in architecture, including work with internationally recognized studios such as Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura, informs her approach to materiality, space, and human perception.
Through painting and material-based processes, her practice explores the relationship between environment, natural matter, and embodied experience. Supported by studies in innovation and emerging materialities, she develops works that integrate spatial awareness, sensory perception, and experimental surfaces through the use of natural pigments and collected materials.
Her work has been exhibited across Europe, the United States, and Latin America, and is held in private collections internationally.
