the wise man Print - Limited Edition of 1

Born and raised in Paris, France, Alexandra studied drawing and painting at the Beaux-Arts School of Paris and architecture at the Ecole Superieure des Arts et des Techniques (ESAT) where she earned a master's degree in Interior and Set Design. For several years, while working as an assistant set designer for French television and film productions, she pursued her personal painting projects and her passion led her in a new direction; decorative painting where she found an innovative way to express and sustain herself. In 1998, after being profiled in the "Los Angeles Times" for her innovative work in Paris, she moved to Los Angeles where she currently divides her time between her commissions from designers and architects for murals and trompe-l'oeil and her personal work. Since 1995, I had numerous exhibitions and shows in Paris and Los Angeles. A painting for me is more than two dimentional surface. My mixed media texture of plaster, marble powder and pigments combined with gold and silver leaves create a 3 dimentional effect close to that of a sculpture, which catches the light and colors differently according to the time of the day.
