Alexandra has always had a passion for art, expressing her ideas through drawing and painting. She attended both Art School and University, achieving a Master’s Degree while developing her artistic sense. Approaching a multitude of styles, from oil painting on canvas to street art, Alexandra believes her art and ideas come straight from the soul.
Artistic creativity is an extension of the self in a symbolic form. Art talks about artists and their lives, so they must be able to recognise themselves in it. In most tattoos, Alexandra’s approach is a realistic style because she likes to emphasise as much as possible the emotions they can bring out.
