Alexandra Rozenman

Artist's Statement

I came to America, as a political refugee at the end of the eighties, when the world was changing its shape and purpose.
I have lived through history, and yet in my work I   am strongly inspired by my personal reinterpretation of everyday life -- a family dinner, a flea market, or just looking out the window of my studio.
Inside my work liquid layers and thick abstractly painted surfaces meet familiar and soothing landscapes, and create a place where I explore the world through the mixture of autobiography, symbolism and philosophy.
Like a stage set or a movie screen, my paintings are places where things evolve and happen;  where the unknown opens and the new begins.
My paintings are imagined spaces with stories implanted in them like plants into the earth.
