Alexandra Puşcaş
1999, Romania. Lives and works in Antwerp
The ongoing struggle between harmony and disharmony in materials always results in abstract reliefs that evoke a sense of live. With an insatiable fascination for the expressive potential of colors and materials, I transcend physical limitations to create canvases bordering on sculptural forms. My canvas is an expansive terrain on which I can dive deeply.
By creating multiple layers, an intriguing abstraction emerges, with the narrative aspect fading into the background. Natural materials react to each other, helping determine the direction of my work. The act of painting itself, which is a crucial part of the process, manifests as a representation of controlled intuition.
