Her work restores a face, depth, and dignity to figures erased by History or the media, as well as to those who have illuminated our humanity through their courage, vision, or presence.
Through fragments, traces, and testimony, she reveals what endures despite everything: memory, struggle, the human capacity to rise again, and that light which some carry and pass on, even in the darkest of times.
Artistic approach
Her practice is grounded in a quasi-journalistic approach. Each work emerges from an immersion in narratives, faces, archives, and struggles. She collects newspapers, testimonies, and documents, which she cuts, fragments, and then reassembles. Newsprint becomes a living material, chosen for its fragility and its ambivalence: a space of truth, but also a place where stories vanish as quickly as they appear.
Through these recompositions, she constructs visual mosaics in which each fragment carries its own weight. The black of the ink and the white of the paper form a restrained yet intense grammar, shaped by tension, depth, and humanity. This transformation of reality gives rise to a singular visual language, at the crossroads of engaged art and contemporary memory.
Born in Paris in 1986 and trained in applied arts at the Académie Charpentier, Alexandra has developed a practice focused on memory, transmission, and engagement.
Her work revolves around three main thematic axes: memory and dignity (erased or forgotten figures, resistance and resilience, overlooked narratives); contemporary violence and struggles (sexual violence, noma, the fight of the invisible); and figures of light (transmission, recomposition, universal faces).
She lives and works in Paris.
