YELLOW FINE ARTS
Alexandra Momin
Alexandra Momin is an artist interested in the encounter between different mediums and the evocative allusions that emerge from their overlap. Fascinated by the meeting of different forms, colors, and textures, she combines various mediums – painting, film, photography, screen printing – to create suggestive images of environments that point to a new reality while alluding to deeper realities in search of resolution. Whether through several or all media layered upon each other, her eye is squarely focused on the emotional power of form and movement - how they represent human complexity, promise, and alienation. She attempts to capture the mystery and magic of the frantic movement that embodies our contemporary lives, while inviting the viewer to reflect on how her textural interplay reveal the intimacy and unruliness of our inner lives.
