Ralitsa Aleksandrova

Ralex is a contemporary artist based in Sofia, Bulgaria, whose work explores memory, movement and the emotional traces of lived experience. Working primarily with acrylic and oil on canvas, she combines strong graphic composition with richly textured surfaces, often using layers of impasto to create a physical sense of depth and time.
Her practice moves between abstraction and recognizable imagery, with recurring motifs of boats, water, journeys and motion. Rather than depicting a place literally, Ralex reduces forms to their emotional essentials—colour, rhythm, texture and space.
Across her work, movement becomes a metaphor for being alive: changing direction, taking risks, remembering, falling in love, beginning again. Each painting is created as a unique original and forms part of an evolving visual language centred on energy, memory and transformation.
