Alexandra Rozenman
Artist Statment
Through immigration, multiculturalism, traveling and rediscovering my own roots, my paintings evolve into fragile scenarios -A fact that I am bilingual influences my way of thinking. My creative process is often a search, a feeling of an absurd tragedy of human life and society. I do not apply ideas to my work, but rather allow practice, images or final work itself, test theories. I am a wonderer. My art explores the world through a mixture of autobiography, symbolism and philosophy.
Artist Biography
Moscow-born, both classically and conceptually trained, Alexandra Rozenman brings a canny and charming mysticism to her life and art. Rozenman came to America from Moscow, Russia as a political refugee at the end of the eighties, when again through history the world was changing its shape and purpose. She creates her personal and often surreal world, where shapes, colors and images are often utilized like words in a story. Living in the Soviet Union Rozenman studied in Russia with today well-known dissident artists and was a part of Moscow alternative cultural scene of the 1980’s.
She holds Masters degree from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Beginning in 1989, her work has been represented nationally and internationally. In 2006 she was awarded a MacDowell Foundation Fellowship. She works in a wide range of schools, using art as a tool for personal growth.
