Alexandra Neira
Was born in Bogota, Colombia, where her natural love for art began. Over the years, having had the opportunity to travel through and live in other countries, she gained great knowledge and appreciation of other cultures and architecture that surrounded her. Drawn to and fascinated by the aesthetic and structural elements of architecture and their influence in people, along with her interest in art and photography, she began furthering her discoveries in mixed-media applications that are now the brand of her latest series.
"As a graphic designer, I began to feel very commercial with my career and decided to continue my long-life study of all arts, including Charcoal, Oil and Acrylic painting, Photography, Drawing, Ceramics, and Art History among others.
I found my artistic voice by combining personal photography and painting skills to express a sense of place, juxtaposed with mystery, which invites the viewer to be a participant rather than just a spectator.
As a passionate worldwide traveler, my photographs and paintings are meant to bring home a slice of the places others may never experience, by introducing cultures, images, thoughts, and the mystery of faraway lands through my work ."
