Overseas Painting

My name is Alexandra Chauchix, I was born in Martinique, an idyllic French island located in the Caribbean Sea. I’ve lived in different parts of France (mostly in Paris), I spent two years in Saudi Arabia and I’ve been living in Seville, Spain since 2007. I come from a cosmopolite background that probably influences my art. My artistic language is abstract as it gives me the freedom I need to express what I consider important: that we have more joy, strength and abundance in our lives than we are aware of. I use acrylic painting on large format canvases, with many colors and shapes in layers that tell different stories and feelings. My process is intuitive and emotional. I enjoy painting without knowing where it will lead me to, and I trust the outcome will represent the message I want to transmit to the world. Lately, I’m attracted by geometric shapes and the hard edge style.
