Alexandra Kiss

Alexandra Kiss is an artist whose work is produced in series investigating growth and senescence as cyclical temporal processes. Working with a limited number of scales, palette of colours, on either paper or translucent media allows her to track the narrative of transformation and reveal patterns and relationships beyond what the eye can see.
She lives and practices both art and architecture in Toronto, Canada. Born in Romania, and having lived in New York and New Haven, she relocated to Toronto where she now lives with her husband and four-year-old daughter. She a self taught artist, with professional training in architecture. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from the Cooper Union in New York (2005), and a Masters in Architecture from Yale University (2011). After a decade of working in architecture, she turned her focus to drawing since 2018. Her drawing practice is informed by her architectural education: cognizant of space, with an emphasis on precision, and diagramming information ascertained through research, observation, and analysis.
She has been in group exhibitions and art fairs in Toronto, Canada, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and in Fort Wayne, Indiana; and her work is held in private collections in Canada, US, Hong ...
