One of her paintings hangs in a White House office and at the International Monetary Fund. 

Alexandra explores the impact that colors produce in our lives, how they can change our mood, affect our psychology, and even produce a physical reactions. Her architectural and design backgrounds show through her series of wall sculptures, where she expresses a desire to build, arrange objects, and play with different materials, mediums, shapes and colors.

Assembling these pieces require a very intimate process that starts with applying color on each individual wood to build installations full of color, texture and dynamism. A notion of spatial relationship with the object and her surroundings is shown in her installations. She builds with a very planned, meticulous process, where repetition and certain symmetry take her to a meditative space. 

Her paintings are more experimental, a cathartic form of expressing passion and moods. Tied more to a feeling of the moment, rather than an attachment to a particular outcome, painting is a freeing process, as she pours the painting and feelings onto the canvas. Her abstractions have a common thread: a reflection of life itself, full of light and shadows, rhythm and layers, and the duality of every experience.  She finds inspiration in architecture, nature and the richness of different cultures she finds in her trips.

Alexandra’s goal is to give an optimistic view of the future with attitude, audacity and strength. She wants to add color to our days in a symbolic and metaphorical sense; she reaches out to the viewer to connect trough color and passion.
