Zara Alexandrova

Zara Alexandrova poses sincere questions about what it means to be a woman in contemporary society through an ironic – sometimes - mocking prism which calls for a reconsideration of the role and phenomenology of femininity and female sexuality in a world dominated by symbols and images that strive to define it in their own strict terms. With works drawing their inspirations from various sources (social media, childhood memories, classical art history ), the artist takes a critical position towards the politics of attraction and the female sensuality as the subject of mere voyeuristic desire.
