A canvas serves as a gateway to one’s inner self, beginning as a blank slate filled with limitless possibilities. As the artist surrenders control, the profound aspects of their soul gradually emerge, transforming the blank vastness into a reflection of their innermost emotions and experiences.

 

Alexandra Serrano, a talented abstract artist who bridges the gap between heart and logic, based in New York, captures the emotions we all experience but never articulate. Inspired by the intense emotions she has always felt, Alexandra’s art is the physical expression of the feelings she has never felt safe to express. Her creative process involves embracing the idea of a blank canvas, splashing colors, working with dynamic spray paint, and rich acrylics to build layered, tactile compositions that invite viewers to look beyond the surface. Her artistry captures the essence of childhood emotions, transforming them into vivid experiences that invite viewers to reconnect with their inner child. Each piece evokes a sense of curiosity and reminiscence, weaving a tapestry of memories that stir deep emotional connections and spark the imagination. Although her journey in the arts lacks the conventional path of formal education, she honed her skills in oil painting at the esteemed Roslyn School of Painting, blending foundational techniques with her innate creativity to carve out her unique artistic voice. Looking ahead, she hopes to host process art workshops for children, offering art as a tool for healing, self-expression, and fostering emotional growth.
